Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Anticipating diversity puts the nurse in a position of guarding against stereotyping and opens the nurse to cultural awareness. Promoting feelings of acceptance prevents cultural pain. Learning about the position of the patient facilitates empathy. The least useful strategy would be to use direct eye contact and touch. In a cross-cultural encounter, strategies known to be acceptable to the patient are preferable. Direct eye contact and touch may be offensive to patients whose culture calls for more reserved cultural practices. Stereotyping may lead to culturally insensitive care decisions.

Answer to Question 2

A
Sexual dysfunction is a disturbance anywhere that occurs at any time during these four stages of the sexual response cycle. The causes are often related to psychological distresses, medication or illicit drug use, and many physical conditions. Arthritis, diabetes, and chronic illness can result in various sexual dysfunctions or alterations in sexual desire. The other nursing diagnoses do not apply in this situation.
