Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Orgasm occurs during the orgasmic phase. The client reports the ability to become excited (excitement phase), and approaches orgasm (the plateau phase), but then the sensation subsides, and she cannot reach orgasm.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The client is displaying drug tolerance, which results from the body's adaptation to repeated dosages at the same level. The nurse will notify the physician, and anticipates an increase in dosage. Pain tolerance is the amount of pain stimuli a client can handle, and is based on pain threshold, or the level of pain required for the client to feel the stimuli as pain. Addiction involves a physical and psychological need for the drug.
