A male is diagnosed as being infertile, but he wants to have children with his spouse. Which response should the nurse provide to this patient?
A) "You need to consider donor-alternative insemination.".
B) "The chance of conception is slight with artificial insemination.".
C) "You and your sexual partner should consider embryo transfer first because it is safer.".
D) "Artificial insemination is useful only if your sexual partner has an allergy to your sperm.".
A
Feedback:
Donor sperm (alternative insemination by donor) is used if the man has no sperm. There is no evidence to support that the chance of conception is slight with artificial insemination. Embryo transfer is for the female partner who does not produce ova. Artificial insemination is useful for many different situations.
