The female client has been unable to conceive a child for five years. She asks the nurse about medications to treat her infertility. What is the best response by the nurse?

1. There are many new drugs available; one should be able to help you..
2. Medications will only help if your infertility is related to an endocrine problem..
3. Have you considered adopting one of the many children who need a good home?
4. That is a good question. I will refer you to a specialist in infertility..

Question 2

The nurse is teaching the family of a confused client about strategies for effective caregiving in the home setting. The nurse would encourage the family to avoid:

1. creating a pleasant, relaxed environment at mealtimes.
2. having the client sit upright during meals.
3. giving the client a multitude of choices.
4. limiting the number of people who visit the client at one time.

Answer to Question 1

1. Medications will only help if your infertility is related to an endocrine problem..

Rationale:
It is best to be honest: Medications will only help if the infertility is related to an endocrine problem. Even though there are many new medications available, they will only help if the infertility is related to an endocrine problem. This is not the time to address adoption issues. The nurse can answer the question; there is no need to refer to a specialist at this time.

Answer to Question 2
