ANS: B
Many chemotherapeutic drugs affect fertility. Cryopreservation, or freezing, is used to store sperm (or ovarian tissue) for use later. This might be a viable option for this couple, and the nurse should investigate it with them. The other statements are misleading, and in the case of telling the couple that remission may not occur, will not help establish a trusting relationship.
