Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The nurse's role with this client is counseling for sexual dysfunction. The nurse should encourage the client to ask his wife to discuss the lack of interest with her healthcare provider as a starting point. The other choices are inappropriate and should not be provided to the client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Fulfillment of sexuality depends on the ability to relate to a partner in an intimate and mutually pleasing manner that is compatible with one's values and chosen lifestyle. Lack of intimacy is related to satisfaction problems. If one has sex with a stranger, the body may function well, but there is often a sense of something missing after the sexual experience. Making love to one person while feeling more attracted to or in love with another person can result in feelings of emptiness or disconnection. Even couples in a committed relationship may complain of lack of intimacy. Dissatisfaction issues include lack of romance, love, tenderness, and nurturance.
