Practice Question
The nurse knows that if a woman is unable to get pregnant after she has already had a previous child, this is called what?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Secondary infertility
Rationale:
👶Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a previous successful pregnancy.
👶The distinction from primary infertility (no prior conception) guides workup and counseling pathways.
👶Common contributors include tubal damage (e.g., prior PID or surgery), endometriosis, ovulatory dysfunction, and male factor changes over time.
👶Evaluation typically involves ovulation assessment, semen analysis, and tubal/uterine imaging to pinpoint remediable causes.
👶Nursing priorities are education, emotional support, and timely referrals to reproductive specialists to optimize outcomes.
