Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that after vasectomy, the vas deferens are ligated and cut, resulting in sterilization. Vasectomy does not impair the ability to have an erection or ejaculation. Vasectomy does not involve surgical incision of the epididymis or surgical incision of the seminal vesicle.
