Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Privacy should be protected for appropriate sexual expression. Orders and notifying the charge nurse are not necessary, but recording the event in the nursing notes as a conjugal visit is suggested.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A person who is masturbating in public should be taken to his room for privacy.
