A client visits a healthcare facility for information on a vasectomy. Which of the following would best describe the initial information a nurse should provide?
A) Vasectomy is a relatively easy procedure with few complications.
B) Regular sperm counts are not essential.
C) The procedure cannot be reversed.
D) Birth-control measures are not required.
A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that vasectomy is a relatively easy procedure with few complications. Regular sperm counts following a vasectomy are important. Reversals (reattaching the vas deferens) of vasectomies are not uncommon, but these are often unsuccessful. The client should use birth-control measures until his sperm count remains at zero for 6 weeks.
