Blaming one person for infertility is not helpful and can be damaging to the relationship. It is important to investigate the cause of infertility, which can be due to a variety of factors such as female infertility, male infertility, or a combination of both. The nurse should provide reassurance and support to the couple, and encourage them to seek further evaluation and treatment as necessary.
