Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Before beginning an intensive infertility workup, the nurse should assess the couple for basic knowledge related to their ability to conceive. Questions about their understanding of the woman's most fertile times (48 hours around ovulation), signs and symptoms of ovulation, and positions to enhance sperm retention are important areas to explore. Frequency of intercourse is not as important as timing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
The man should be instructed to abstain for 2-3 days, then collect the semen sample through masturbation. The specimen needs to be kept warm, so during transport it should be stored near the body. The sample should arrive in the laboratory within 1 hour after collection.
