The risk of multiple gestations is indeed a risk of treatment that the couple needs to be aware of.In order to minimize the chance of multiple gestations,generally only three or fewer embryos are transferred.The couple should be informed that there may be a need for multifetal reduction.Nurses can provide anticipatory guidance on this matter.Although the method of payment is important,obtaining this information is not the responsibility of the nurse.All provinces in Canada provide coverage for diagnostic testing and some medical treatment.Teaching regarding disclosure of the facts of conception should provide neutral information and not assume that the couple only wants information on how to avoid disclosure.It is possible to freeze embryos for later use.Couples who have excess embryos frozen for later transfer must be fully informed before consenting to the procedure.A decision must be made regarding the disposal of embryos in the event of death or divorce or if the couple no longer wants the embryos at a future time.
