Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
To support the 2020 National Health Goals, the nurse should focus on health promotion, early identification of problems that could lead to subfertility such as poor nutrition, and teaching patients about safer sex practices so the incidence of sexually transmitted infections and pelvic inflammatory disease can be reduced. It is best to have coitus every other day so that the sperm have adequate time to mature. Ninety percent of couples who have routine unprotected sex conceive within a year.
