Question 2 of 5
A provider has ordered several diagnostic procedures for a couple with suspected infertility. Which diagnostic procedure is useful for determining if ovulation has occurred?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Progesterone level. Progesterone is the hormone secreted after ovulation, indicating that ovulation has occurred.

Vaginal ultrasound (D) can visualize the ovaries but does not definitively confirm ovulation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse responsible for completing the medical history during a couple's initial visit to the reproductive medicine clinic recognizes which of the following as the leading cause of tubal factor infertility in the female?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: B: History of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the leading cause of tubal factor infertility as it can lead to scarring and blockages in the fallopian tubes, hindering the passage of eggs. A: Endometriosis can affect fertility but is not the leading cause of tubal factor infertility. C: Ectopic pregnancy can result from tubal issues but is not the leading cause of tubal factor infertility. D: Asherman's syndrome involves scarring in the uterus, not the fallopian tubes, making it less likely to be the leading cause of tubal factor infertility.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is discussing male infertility with a client. Which of the following is a common cause of reduced male fertility?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Smoking and alcohol consumption. Smoking and alcohol can negatively impact male fertility by affecting sperm quality and quantity. Smoking can lead to DNA damage in sperm, while alcohol can disrupt hormone levels. High testosterone levels (A) actually do not commonly cause reduced fertility. Frequent use of lubricants (B) may hinder sperm movement, but it's not a common cause. Daily exercise (D) can improve overall health and fertility.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is instructing a patient on the role of folic acid in preconception care. What is the correct explanation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because folic acid plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus during early pregnancy. Folic acid is essential for proper development of the neural tube, which forms the baby's brain and spinal cord. This is why it is particularly important during preconception care and in the early stages of pregnancy. Choice A is incorrect because folic acid is not specifically for preventing iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy. Choice C is incorrect as folic acid is important throughout pregnancy, not just in the first trimester. Choice D is incorrect because folic acid does not directly enhance the absorption of calcium and vitamin D.
