A client who was diagnosed as infertile is prescribed 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 follicle stimulating hormone (FSH ).".
3. "This medication stimulates leuteinizing hormone (LH ).".
4. "This medication stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone.".
3. "This medication stimulates leuteinizing hormone (LH ).".
Rationale:
Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH, resulting in the maturation of more ovarian follicles than would normally occur. Clomiphene (Clomid) does not increase estrogen levels or stimulate FSH and gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
