Abstract
Fertility literacy is defined as the degree to which people understand fertility information. The reproductive system reflects overall health in men and women. Alterations are associated with chronic disease risk and pregnancy outcome. At every patient visit, whether for acute or chronic care, consideration should be given to any woman who, although not pregnant, may become pregnant. Addressing male fertility is also important as women do not bear responsibility for healthy pregnancy alone. This article provides the primary care nurse practitioner with a concise guide of current information and recommendations for guiding men in the primary care setting.
