Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Calling the healthcare provider delays immediate intervention needed to alleviate the client's symptoms of dizziness and nausea due to supine hypotensive syndrome. Quick repositioning is crucial to improve venous return and alleviate the symptoms.

Choice B rationale

Elevating the head of the bed will not relieve the pressure on the inferior vena cava caused by the supine position. This intervention does not address the underlying cause of the client's symptoms.

Choice C rationale

Encouraging deep breathing is unlikely to resolve the symptoms of supine hypotensive syndrome, which is caused by the compression of the vena cava by the gravid uterus when lying supine. This intervention does not address the physiological cause.

Choice D rationale

Turning her to her side relieves the pressure on the inferior vena cava, improving venous return and increasing blood pressure. This is the correct initial action to address the symptoms of supine hypotensive syndrome.

A. "Smoking and a large alcohol intake can affect the quantity of sperm.”. B. "Smoking or heavy alcohol use has no effect.”. C. "After your first semen analysis, we will see if there will be any difficulty.”. D. "Only if you smoke more than one pack a day will you have difficulty.”.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Smoking and heavy alcohol intake can indeed affect the quantity of sperm. Both substances can reduce sperm count and motility, leading to lower fertility rates in men.

Choice B rationale

This statement is incorrect. Both smoking and heavy alcohol use negatively impact fertility by reducing sperm quality and quantity.

Choice C rationale

Waiting for a semen analysis without addressing the known effects of smoking and alcohol is not the best approach. Immediate lifestyle changes can improve fertility outcomes.

Choice D rationale

Any amount of smoking can affect sperm quality and fertility. It's not limited to smoking more than one pack a day. Reducing or eliminating smoking can improve fertility.
