Infertility
Infertility ( 15 Questions)
Which response by the nurse is accurate?
"ART includes surgeries to correct infertility." is not entirely accurate. ART primarily involves medical and laboratory procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to facilitate conception. Surgeries to correct infertility issues would typically fall under a different category of treatment.
"ART involves lifestyle modifications only." is not accurate. While lifestyle modifications can complement ART, ART itself encompasses various assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), which are not limited to lifestyle changes.
This is the correct answer. IVF (in vitro fertilization) is indeed an example of assisted reproductive technology (ART). IVF involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body and then transferring the embryo into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. It's essential for the nurse to provide accurate information about ART to the client.
"ART focuses on emotional support." is not an accurate description of ART. While emotional support is important during infertility treatment, ART primarily refers to the medical and technological methods used to assist individuals or couples in achieving pregnancy when other methods have been unsuccessful.
