Practice Question
A couple is struggling with infertility and wants to know how to maintain their emotional balance. Which response from the nurse would be most appropriate?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
“Joining a support group can be beneficial. I can provide some recommendations.”
Rationale:
💠 Support groups offer a safe space for individuals or couples to share experiences, gain emotional insight, and feel less isolated during the infertility journey.
💠 Infertility is often emotionally taxing and can lead to stress, anxiety, or depression. Professional support systems, including peer groups or therapy, have proven benefits for coping.
💠 The nurse’s role includes providing resources and encouraging healthy coping mechanisms, such as connecting with others who are navigating similar struggles in a structured, supportive environment.
💠 Suggesting a support group is a therapeutic communication technique and respects the couple’s privacy and autonomy.
💠 Other options may not be as universally helpful or may place undue pressure on the couple or limit their support sources unnecessarily.
