Nurses are actively involved in planning and providing nursing care to infertile individuals and couples in a variety of health care settings. Infertility is a health problem with ethical and physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Rather than evaluating the ethical advantages and disadvantages of each reproductive technology, the author suggests that the ethical issues that face nurses in caring for infertile individuals be assessed from the standpoint of possible harm to the individual and family. From this perspective, a lack of accurate information about treatment outcomes appears to be a serious ethical issue and one that nurses can, in part, remedy.
护士积极参与在各种医疗环境中为不孕不育的个人和夫妇规划和提供护理服务。不孕不育是一个涉及伦理、生理、心理和社会层面的健康问题。作者建议，与其评估每种生殖技术的伦理利弊，不如从可能对个人和家庭造成伤害的角度来评估护士在护理不孕不育患者时所面临的伦理问题。从这个角度来看，缺乏关于治疗结果的准确信息似乎是一个严重的伦理问题，而且护士在一定程度上可以加以补救。
