A client is undergoing a semen analysis as part of a couple's infertility work up. Which instructions would the nurse provide during the client's education session on specimen collection?

Rationale: A. Collecting immediately after intercourse is incorrect; abstinence is required for accurate results. B. Abstaining for 2-4 days is correct, but obtaining the specimen immediately after voiding is not necessary and can be inconvenient. C. Diluting the specimen with saline is inappropriate and can alter results. D. Abstaining from intercourse for 2-4 days ensures adequate sperm count, and keeping the specimen at room or body temperature after collection preserves sperm viability for accurate analysis.
