The clients come to the fertility clinic to determine the cause of their inability to become pregnant. The nurse anticipates the first action will be:
1. Semen analysis.
2. Ultrasound of the woman's reproductive organs.
3. Administration of hormone therapy.
4. Measurement of hormone levels.
1
Rationale: Because it is noninvasive, generally the first test to be performed when examining for the cause of infertility is a semen analysis, which includes measuring sperm mobility and number. If this is normal, the mother's hormone levels will be checked. Ultrasound and more invasive tests are performed if cause of infertility is not indicated by other tests.
