Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The LI phase of the PLISSIT model stands for limited information, which would be information the patient needs to function sexually. Asking permission is P. Discussing specific concerns related to a specific medical condition is SS (specific suggestions). Referral to a therapist is IT (intensive therapy).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Some STD symptoms may go unnoticed for a long time. Telling the partner to get tested as well without further explanation is likely to cause defensiveness. The nurse has no way of knowing if the patient cheated on the partner or not. Telling the partner not to get angry is dismissive of his/her concerns.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.
