A patient inquires about the gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) procedure.
What would be an appropriate response for the nurse to make?

Choice A rationale
A cervical cap is a small, thimble-shaped cup made of silicone that fits over the cervix to prevent sperm from reaching an egg. It must be fitted by a healthcare provider and requires a prescription.
Choice B rationale
The cervical sponge is a type of birth control that does not require a prescription. It is a small, donut-shaped device made of soft plastic foam that is inserted into the vagina before sex.
Choice C rationale
Condoms are a type of birth control that do not require a prescription. They are a barrier method that prevents sperm from reaching an egg.
Choice D rationale
Spermicide is a type of birth control that does not require a prescription. It is a chemical that kills sperm and is often used with other birth control methods to increase effectiveness.

Choice A rationale
Bradypnea, or abnormally slow breathing, is not a typical symptom of fetal alcohol syndrome. It is more commonly associated with conditions such as sleep apnea, drug overdose, or certain neurological conditions.
Choice B rationale
Hydrocephaly, a condition where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain, is not a common symptom of fetal alcohol syndrome. It is typically caused by other conditions such as birth defects, infections, or brain injuries.
Choice C rationale
Nystagmus (involuntary eye movement) and hypoactivity (reduced activity level) are not typical symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome. These symptoms can be associated with a variety of neurological or eye disorders.
Choice D rationale
Small palpebral fissures (small eye openings), missing vertical groove in the median portion of the upper lip, and a thin upper lip are all characteristic facial features of fetal alcohol syndrome. These features result from prenatal alcohol exposure, which can interfere with normal development.
