Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
The responsibility of the nurse includes making additional inquiries on factors that may be related to the concerns associated with infertility. Chronic exposure to chemicals has been implicated in the development of male-caused infertility. Gonorrhea in a male has not been linked to infertility. In addition, there are no factors provided to infer that damage has resulted from the disease. Men with genital herpes simplex are not infertile. A history of marijuana use is not associated with male-related infertility.
