Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Feedback:
Heart disease can interfere with sexual functioning. The nurse should teach the patient about alternative positions to avoid strain, avoiding large meals for several hours before sex to reduce the strain on the heart, and taking medications for peak effectiveness during sex. The nurse should not support the patient's belief that his sex life is over by encouraging him to cultivate hobbies and explaining that everyone experiences an end to sexual experiences because this is not true.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
While the obese person may have risk factors, the person with asthma living in public housing has multiple risk factors, including reduced income and a respiratory comorbidity and age. Health promotion activities include yoga and current immunizations.
