A couple is trying to cope with their infertility problem and wants to know what they can do to preserve their emotional stability. The nurse's most appropriate response is:
a. "Get involved with a support group. I will give you some names."
b. "Start researching adoption opportunities now because obtaining a newborn is difficult."
c. "Tell all of your friends and family so that they can help you."
d. "Talk only to friends who are infertile, since they are the only ones who can help you."
ANS: A
Because some couples who seek treatment for infertility may be anxious or stressed, marital discord may also be present. Listening to the couple and providing an interdisciplinary referral to clergy, a social worker, or support groups are helpful.
