Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
People with arthritis will want to increase foreplay. Warm baths will decrease stiffness. People with arthritis should experiment with sexual positions for comfort and support. A vibrator may help if the ability to massage is limited for the person with arthritis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Sexual relationships between competent and consenting residents in institutional settings should be accommodated by care providers. It is likely unnecessary to directly involve family members. Education and medical assessment are likely unnecessary and may be inappropriate.
