Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, D

The risk factors for erectile dysfunction are numerous. They include advancing age, diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, trauma, and the use of prescription or illicit drugs. Excessive use of alcohol can also result in erectile dysfunction. Recreational sports, a body mass index within normal limits, and a normal blood pressure would not provide a possible cause for the client's recent experience with the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

A client's health history can provide clues to the underlying cause of impotence. The question for what diseases and disorders have you been treated would provide the nurse with information as to possible causes for the recent onset of the disorder. Asking the client if the impotence occurs often will not help identify the cause of the problem. Asking the client how the partner feels about the problem also will not help identify a possible cause. The question are you on any medication? would be beneficial to ask; however, it should be an open-ended question and not a closed-ended question as identified. The nurse should ask the client to list any medications instead of asking are you on any medication? which could be answered with a yes or no.
