Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. The client needs to use a lubricant rather than refraining from intercourse.
2. Extra fluids will not lubricate the vagina.
3. Atrophic vaginitis is caused by decreased secretion production in the vagina during the aging process. The nurse should instruct the client to use a water-soluble lubricant during intercourse.
4. Estrogen does not aggravate the condition. It is an option to take hormone replacement therapy to help alleviate dryness in the vagina.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. Significant overweight or underweight reduces fertility.
2. Drinking more than six cups of coffee per day can decrease fertility.
3. The client is advised to reduce stress, not increase it.
4. There is no restraint on intercourse.
