Question 1 of 5
When a client who is 25 years of age asks the nurse when she should seek fertility counseling, the best response by the nurse is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The guidelines for a fertility workup are to refer after the couple has not conceived after one year of unprotected intercourse. So,
Choice 1 is technically correct, but it doesn't consider the immediate need for the couple to have some counseling.
Choice 4 is the best answer because it gives the couple guidance now and the referral at the appropriate time. If the woman is over the age of 35, an earlier referral, at six to nine months of unprotected intercourse, is appropriate. It is true that the average time it takes a 25-year-old woman to conceive is 5.3 months, but that does not address the concern the client is expressing.
Choice 4 is still the most caring and correct answer. Couples conceive within the first month of unprotected intercourse 20% of the time.
