Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
During the interview use words that the man can understand, and do not be embarrassed or offended by the words he uses. Asking the client to define terms may promote a sense of inferiority. Men may be embarrassed to discuss health problems or concerns involving their reproductive organs; it is important for the nurse to ask questions in a nonthreatening, matter-of-fact manner. Consider the psychologic, social, and cultural factors that affect sexuality and sexual activity. The words and responses of the client will need to be documented. Asking another nurse to complete the interview reduces the quality and continuity of care and is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Males exposed to lead may experience decreased libido, diminished sperm count, and abnormal sperm motility. Lead may be present is homes built before 1979. Masturbation and tobacco use do not influence sperm count and motility. The responsibility of the nurse is to assess for related causes, not to assess the desire to father children.
