Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Framing questions in a way that normalizes a wide range of sexual behaviors or problems helps the client feel more comfortable about sharing his or her unique experience. Silence may or may not promote further disclosure. Sexual disorders are often, but not always, curable. It would be inappropriate to focus solely on the person who has the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Sexual dysfunction disorders can be primary (caused by various psychological and emotional conditions) or secondary (caused by a general medical condition or substance use).
