Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
One risk factor for prostate cancer is having a vasectomy because it is believed to increase the levels of circulating free testosterone. A diet high in animal fat and excessive supplemental vitamin A is also believed to increase the risk for prostate cancer. Vitamin C does not impact the risk for prostate cancer. Spermicides are not identified as increasing the risk for prostate cancer. Excessive supplemental vitamin A is believed to increase the risk for prostate cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
This patient is explaining inhibited sexual desire, which can have physiological or psychological causes. The nurse should not discount the patient's feelings but rather encourage more communication about the situation. Advising the patient that sex is not important to the marriage is imposing a personal belief on the patient. Suggesting other activities does not address the patient's concern about her declining sexual desire. The nurse does not know that the problem is nothing and will go away.
