A female patient being treated for infertility is completing the third course of clomiphene citrate (Clomid). What information should the nurse prepare for the patient in the event this course does not result in conception?
A) Agencies that coordinate adoptions
B) Strategies to improve sperm motility
C) Additional options to achieve conception
D) Informed consent for taking a fourth course of the medication
C
Feedback:
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) has a 5-day initial course. Then two additional courses of 5 days each can be provided. If the last course does not result in conception, the nurse should prepare additional options to achieve conception. It is premature to begin discussing adoption with the patient. Sperm motility is not an issue at this time. There is no need for informed consent for a fourth course of the medication.
