Female Reproductive and Genital Problems Lewis: Medical-Surgical
Nursing Test Bank
A 34-yr-old patient who is discussing contraceptive options with the nurse says, "I want
to have children but not for a few years." Which response by the nurse is accurate?
a. "If you do not become pregnant within the next few years, you never will."
b. "Women often have more difficulty becoming pregnant after about age 35."
c. "Stop taking oral contraceptives several years before you want to have a child."
d. "You have many more years of fertility left, so there is no rush to have children." -
ANS: B
The probability of successfully becoming pregnant decreases after age 35 years,
although some patients may have no difficulty in becoming pregnant. Oral
contraceptives do not need to be withdrawn for several years for a woman to become
pregnant. Although the patient may be fertile for many years, it would be inaccurate to
indicate that there is no concern about fertility as she becomes older. Although the risk
for infertility increases after age 35 years, not all patients have difficulty in conceiving.

The nurse in the infertility clinic is explaining in vitro fertilization (IVF) to a couple.
The woman tells the nurse that they cannot afford IVF on her husband's salary. The man
replies that if his wife worked outside the home, they would have enough money.
Which nursing diagnosis is appropriate?
a. Decisional conflict related to inadequate financial resources
b. Ineffective sexuality patterns related to psychological stress
c. Defensive coping related to anxiety about lack of conception
d. Ineffective denial related to frustration about continued infertility - ANS: C
The statements made by the couple are consistent with the diagnosis of defensive
coping. No data indicate that ineffective sexuality and ineffective denial are problems.
Although the couple is quarreling about finances, the data do not provide information
indicating that the finances are inadequate.

A young patient who is trying to become pregnant asks the nurse how to determine
when she is most likely to conceive. The nurse explains that
a. ovulation is unpredictable unless there are regular menstrual periods.
b. ovulation prediction kits can provide accurate information about ovulation.
c. she will need to bring a specimen of cervical mucus to the clinic for testing.
d. she should take her body temperature daily and have intercourse when it drops. -
ANS: B
Ovulation prediction kits indicate when luteinizing hormone (LH) levels first rise.
Ovulation occurs about 28 to 36 hours after the first rise of LH. This information can be
used to determine the best time for intercourse. Body temperature rises at ovulation.
Postcoital cervical smears are used in infertility testing, but they do not predict the best
time for conceiving and are not obtained by the patient. Determination of the time of
ovulation can be predicted by basal body temperature charts or ovulation prediction kits
and is not dependent on regular menstrual periods.
