Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as sertraline can cause anorgasmia. Beta blockers (atenolol) can cause decreased libido. Clonidine can lead to decreased libido. Thyroid replacement hormones can cause menstrual irregularities with excessive doses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Sexual dysfunction is defined as any sexual situation that causes personal distress for the woman herself. If the woman is comfortable with the situation, there is no dysfunction. Dysfunction can occur in the physical, emotional, or relationship aspect of sexuality. The woman who complains of lack of arousal has a dysfunction even though she still is sexually active. The other women do not manifest complaints or personal distress about their situations.
