In their role in implementing a plan of care for infertile couples, nurses should:
 
  1. be comfortable with their own sexuality and nonjudgmental about others to effec-tively counsel their patients.
  2. know about such nonmedical remedies through diet, exercise, and stress man-agement.
  3. be able to direct patients to sources of information about what herbs to take that might help and which ones to avoid.
  4. do all of these plus be conversant about potential drug and surgical remedies.

Question 2

Concerning the assessment of female, male, and couple infertility, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. the couple's religious, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds provide emotional clutter that does not affect the clinical scientific diagnosis.
  2. the investigation takes 3 to 4 months and a lot of money.
  3. the woman is assessed first; if she is not the problem, the male partner is analyzed.
  4. semen analysis is for men; the postcoital test is for women.
