A woman in the infertility clinic is concerned that her religion may object to assisted reproductive technologies. Which process should the nurse explore with the woman as possibly acceptable?
A.
FET (frozen embryo transfer)
B.
GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer)
C.
IVF-ET (in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer)
D.
ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer)
ANS: B
During the GIFT procedure, oocytes are harvested from the ovary and placed into a catheter along with washed, motile donor or partner sperm. The oocytes and sperm are then injected into the fallopian tubes through a laparoscope. Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube. Because fertilization occurs inside the woman's body, this procedure may be more acceptable to adherents of certain religious groups.
