Document Summary
Infertility is the inability to achieve a pregnancy after at least 1 year of regular intercourse without contraception. Diagnostic studies include ovulatory studies, tubal patency studies, and postcoital studies. Management depends on the cause and can include supplemental hormone therapy and antibiotic therapy. Abortion is the loss or termination of a pregnancy before the fetus has developed to a state of viability. Abortions are classified as spontaneous (those occurring naturally) or induced (those occurring as a result of mechanical or medical intervention). Nursing management includes the use of comfort measures to provide needed physical and mental rest. The support of the patient and her family is essential. Premenstrual syndrome (pms) is a common disorder of physical and psychologic symptoms during the last few days of the menstrual cycle and before onset of menstruation. Pms is thought to have a biologic trigger with compounding psychosocial factors.
