A nurse working in the infertility clinic counsels a couple about male fertility. What assessment question to a male by the nurse would yield the most important information?
A.
"Do you get plenty of exercise?"
B.
"Do you wear boxer shorts or briefs?"
C.
"How much alcohol do you drink?"
D.
"Have you been circumcised yet?"
ANS: B
Factors that influence male fertility include participation in active contact sports; smoking; and wearing tight, constrictive clothing. Brief-style underwear are tighter than boxer shorts, and this is one question the nurse could ask about clothing that might yield some useful information. Exercise does not specifically address active contact sports. Alcohol use and circumcision are not related.
