Answer to Question 1

A
In sexual erectile disorders, the individual cannot maintain the physiologic requirements for sexual intercourse. The patient's statement does not provide data to suggest one of the other options.

Answer to Question 2

C
The general rules of interviewing apply. In addition, older adults respond better to open-ended questions than to a barrage of direct questions. Because it might take the older adult longer to formulate an answer, the nurse should allow time for the patient to answer. Making sure that the patient uses his or her glasses and hearing aid is advisable. Information should be obtained directly from the patient if possible. Direct questions might seem intrusive. Speaking loudly is necessary only if the patient has a hearing deficit. Setting a brisk pace and interrupting might frustrate the patient.
