How do nurses go about when taking a semen sample from a patient?
I know that this is required for some tests. Do they take him to the bathroom to Jack off, or ask him to do it in bed, or help him to do it?

It's most often done from home. You are given a vial to return. Sometimes it can be done in a clinic, in which case you are sent into a private room with that vial. The room might have adult magazines and similar materials.

In no case does a nurse "help him do it". That would be unprofessional, and it isn't part of a nurses duty.

When I had my vascectomy, I had to take in samples from home for them to check.

My doctor takes a semen sample as part of my routine physical. Upon reaching orgasm, she will carefully observe the actual ejaculation, to diagnose any problems that may exist. She passes the sample to a lab along with my blood and urine specimens.

Bob, why would it be that your doctor watches you?

As far as I know semen samples are never taken from home, because semen quickly deteriorates in a matter of minutes and thus will not be much good for a lab test. It must be fresh and immediately put in a refrigerator, unless it is going to be tested immediately.
Which is why it must be produced in the doctor's or nurse's office.

Actually JC, taking them at home is very common. See wikipedia, or many other sources on the net:

"A man may prefer to produce his sample at home rather than at the clinic. The site of semen collection does not affect the results of a semen analysis"

Or from another medical site:

"If collection is done at home, the sample should be kept next to the body during transportation"

This is quite common. All that's necessary is to return it to the lab within an hour.
