Answer to Question 1

C
Most clients only discuss sexual problems with their nurse when the nurse asks questions. Many people are uncomfortable talking about sexual matters with others, even health care professionals. Additionally, sexual problems are also the source of shame and embarrassment to those afflicted with them.

Answer to Question 2

B
When counseling a couple expecting their first baby while still living at home with their parents, the nurse would most likely provide services that would be considered prevention on the trifocal model. Prevention efforts would focus on such issues as risk for interrupted family process, risk for imbalanced family nutrition, and risk for dysfunctional family processes.
