Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The nurse would further assess the client who made the statement, I am so glad that I don't need to worry about sex anymore. This statement is unclear. Does it mean that the client is glad not to have to engage in sex anymore, or does it mean that she will not have to worry about getting pregnant anymore? The other statements reflect normal changes associated with aging and healthy responses to those changes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

In the perimenopausal client, the vaginal pH increases, predisposing the client to bacterial vaginal infections. In perimenopause, estrogen levels decrease, not increase. Decreased vasomotor stability leads to hot flashes, not vaginal bacterial infections.
