A 3-year-old child is adopted from an orphanage where he has been kept in a crib since birth, with minimal human interaction. His development will be:
1. normal.
2. delayed.
3. progressed.
4. unmeasurable.
Question 2
A client who is concerned because he was unable to achieve an erection during his last sexual encounter with his wife tells the nurse that he has worried about becoming impotent since he had a sexually transmitted infection as a young adult.
What is the nurse's best response to this client's concerns? 1. Sexually transmitted infections may result in sexual problems in adults.
2. Erectile dysfunction is the correct term for the inability to achieve or sustain an erection.
3. An occasional incident like this is normal and common, and there is no reason to be concerned.
4. The medical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is not made until the man has erection difficulties in 25 or more of his interactions.

Answer to Question 1
ANS: 2
Answer to Question 2
3. An occasional incident like this is normal and common, and there is no reason to be concerned.
Rationale:
This client is concerned about his masculinity and sexual abilities. The correct answer at this point is to tell him that it is common and normal for men to experience occasional erectile difficulties. The other options are also true, but they do not serve to alleviate the client's concerns. If the client continues to have difficulties achieving or sustaining an erection, further investigation should take place. Simply correcting the client's use of medical terminology does not address his concerns.
