Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of successfully becoming pregnant decreases after age 35 although some clients may have no difficulty in becoming pregnant; this probability further decreases after age 40. Oral contraceptives do not need to be withdrawn for several years for a woman to become pregnant. Although the client may be fertile for many years, it would be inaccurate to indicate that there is no concern about infertility as she becomes older.
Although the risk for infertility increases after age 35, not all clients have difficulty in conceiving.
