Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Semen analysis is usually the first test to be performed because it is least costly and noninvasive. Endometrial biopsy determines whether the endometrium is responding to ovarian stimulation. A testicular biopsy is an invasive examination using a local anesthetic. Hysterosalpingograp hy uses a contrast medium to evaluate the structure and patency of the uterus and tubes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Problems with infertility must be approached realistically. Nurses should not make judgments or give false reassurance. Providing accurate information to the couple is the best response. The nurse should not make statements indicating that problems will be resolved, because this gives a false impression. The tests are not always definitive, so the nurse should not give false reassurance. The nurse should not offer her view or opinion but should state the facts.
