Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Sexual interest and identity is generally consistent throughout the life span. It is not the nurse's role to deliberately seek to change residents' gender identities, and interest in physical sexual activity does not necessarily wane. It would be inappropriate and ineffective to attempt to create sexual interest through the use of erectile dysfunction drugs.
