Answer to Question 1

D
The PLISSIT Assessment of Sexuality method suggests that the nurse gain permission to discuss sexuality issues, limit information to sexual health problems being experienced, make specific suggestion only when the nurse is clear about the problem, and refer the patient to professionals with advanced training if necessary.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse made a judgment, which is an inference, that the patient is experiencing pain. An in-ference is a nurse's judgment or interpretation of a cue. A cue is information that you obtain through use of the senses. Gordon's functional health patterns are a type of database format to obtain a comprehensive assessment. A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual and potential health problems or life processes that the nurse is licensed and competent to treat such as impaired tissue perfusion.
