Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Nurses should be open to and ready to help with a variety of medical and nonmedical approaches.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Women tend to be more stressed about infertility tests and to place more importance on having children. The prevalence of infertility is stable among the overall population, but it increases with a woman's age, especially after age 40. Of cases with an identifiable cause, about 40 are related to female factors, 40 to male factors, and 20 to both partners. Sterility is the inability to conceive. Infertility, or subfertility, is a state of requiring a prolonged time to conceive.
