A female patient tells the nurse that she has been taking special vitamins to "increase the production of eggs" so that she can get pregnant. The nurse realizes that this patient is:
1. being proactive in her attempts to become pregnant.
2. a healthy female and should not worry.
3. anxious about nothing.
4. misinformed.
Correct Answer: 4
A woman's total number of ova is present at birth. The nurse needs to explain this to the patient and then further evaluate the types of vitamins the patient has been taking. The patient might have other health issues that hinder her ability to become pregnant. Special vitamins will not help increase the production of eggs.
