Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that vasectomy is a relatively easy procedure with few complications. Regular sperm counts following a vasectomy are important. Reversals (reattaching the vas deferens) of vasectomies are not uncommon, but these are often unsuccessful. The client should use birth-control measures until his sperm count remains at zero for 6 weeks.
