A couple, in which both members are 22 years of age, wants to know what it can do to improve the chances of conceiving. What should the nurse respond to this couple?
A) Have coitus every day.
B) Have coitus every other day.
C) Consume a high-fat, low-protein diet.
D) The female-superior position is the best for conception.
B
Feedback:
Although frequent intercourse may stimulate sperm production, men need sperm recovery time after ejaculation to maintain an adequate sperm count. This is why coitus every other day, rather than every day, during the fertile period will probably yield faster results. A diet that is low in fat and moderate in protein is recommended. The male-superior position is the best for conception because the sperm will be closer to the cervical opening.
