Eleanor L Stevenson et al. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs. 2016 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

When couples cannot achieve pregnancy, they often seek health care from medical and nursing specialists. The care the couple receives begins with a thorough assessment to determine the possible cause of infertility and to plan appropriate care to ensure the best chance for the couple to have a biological child. In this article, we provide an overview of the etiology and evaluation of infertility, the various treatment options available, and the appropriate clinical implications.

Keywords: assisted reproduction; fertility; infertility; in vitro fertilization; nursing care.
