A couple with a diagnosis of ovarian failure discusses their infertility options with their physician
After their appointment the woman calls the nurse to clarify some things the physician had said. What would be the nurse's best response as the treatment of choice for a patient with ovarian failure?
A) Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
B) Artificial insemination
C) Gamete intrafallopian transfer
D) In Vitro Fertilization
Ans: C
Feedback: Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), a variation of IVF, is the treatment of choice for patients with ovarian failure. In intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), an ovum is retrieved as described previously, and a single sperm is injected through the zona pellucida, through the egg membrane, and into the cytoplasm of the oocyte. The fertilized egg is then transferred back to the donor. ICSI is the treatment of choice in severe male factor infertility. In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. Artificial insemination is the deposit of semen into the female genital tract by artificial means.
