Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Older women remain capable of multiple orgasms and may, in fact, experience an increase in sexual desire after menopause. Vaginal lubrication and elasticity decrease with menopause and decreased estrogen, and phases of the sexual response cycle may take longer to occur. The client's concerns are not related to cervical mucus.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The primary goal of treatment of peripheral neuropathy is to treat and manage the underlying cause. Since the client is prescribed a vitamin injection, the best response is for the nurse to explain how the injection provides a supplement of a vitamin known to be low in people with numbness in their feet and legs. The vitamin injection will not cause the client to want to eat better, give the client more energy to exercise, or improve sleep.
