The client is considered infertile. The physician orders clomiphene (Clomid). The nurse teaches the client about the medication and evaluates that learning has occurred when the client makes which statement?
1. "This medication increases my estrogen levels so I can ovulate."
2. "This medication stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone)."
3. "This medication stimulates FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)."
4. "This medication stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone."
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone); it does not increase estrogen levels.
Rationale 2: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone) resulting in the maturation of more ovarian follicles than would normally occur.
Rationale 3: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone); it does not stimulate FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).
Rationale 4: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone), not gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
