A 38-year-old male client tells the nurse that he is afraid that he is sterile. Which client statement helps the nurse determine that the client is sterile and not infertile?
1. "I have had unprotected sex with my wife for eight months and she has not conceived."
2. "I was treated for a sexually transmitted disease a few years ago."
3. "I only have one orgasm while having intercourse."
4. "I have had unprotected sex for the past ten years with my wife who has a child from a previous marriage."
Answer: 4
1. Infertility is an inability to conceive during a one-year period of unprotected intercourse.
2. Some STDs can cause infertility, but further information would be necessary.
3. The number of orgasms does not predict fertility.
4. Since client has not conceived a child in 10 years and knowing the wife is not infertile supports sterility.
