Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse should be nonjudgmental, and asking for clarification of the patient's feelings will help the nurse better understand the situation. Making assumptions about the patient's partner is not appropriate. Passing judgment or imposing the nurse's morals on the patient is unethical. Asking the patient to consider the consequences of a three-way is judgmental and implies that nontraditional sex is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Any person who has sexual intercourse can develop a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at any age. People with multiple sex partners are at greater risk. Therefore, the instructor needs to intervene when the student tells the older adults that they are not at risk for developing a STI. Avoiding the use of alcohol; using pillows; taking pain medications before having intercourse if needed; and communicating thoughts, fears, and feelings about sex all enhance sexual functioning.
