Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Voyeurism is the viewing of others in intimate situations such as undressing, bathing, or having sexual relations. Voyeurs are often called peeping Toms. Frotteurism is touching or rubbing against a nonconsenting person to achieve sexual gratification. Exhibitionists are interested in exposing their genitals to others. Pedophiles seek sexual contact with prepubescent children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The basic education of nurses provides information sufficient to qualify as a generalist to assess for sexual dysfunction and perform health teaching. Taking a detailed sexual history and providing sex therapy require additional training in sex education and counseling. Nurses with basic education are not qualified to be sexual counselors; additional education is necessary. The registered nurse may provide basic information about sexual function, but complex questions may require referral.
