When dealing with parents who have some form of sensory impairment, nurses should realize all of the following are true except:
 
  1. One of the major difficulties visually impaired parents experience is the skeptic-ism of health care professionals.
  2. Visually impaired mothers cannot overcome the infant's need for eye-to-eye contact.
  3. The best approach for the nurse is to assess the parents' capabilities rather than focusing on their handicaps.
  4. Technologic advances, including the Internet, can provide deaf parents with a full range of parenting activities and information.

Question 2

Physiologically, sexual response can be characterized by:
 
  1. coitus, masturbation, and fantasy.
  2. myotonia and vasocongestion.
  3. erection and orgasm.
  4. excitement, plateau, and orgasm.

Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. The skepticism, open or hidden, of health care professionals throws up an addi-tional-and unneeded-hurdle for the parents.
2. Correct. Other sensory output can be provided by the parent; other people can partici-pate; other coping devices can be employed.
3. Incorrect. After her capabilities are assessed (including some the nurse may not have ex-pected), the nurse can help find ways to assist parents that play to their strengths.
4. Incorrect. The Internet affords an extra teaching tool for the deaf, as do videos with sub-titles or nurses signing. A number of electronic devices can turn sound into light flashes to help pick up a child's cry. Sign language is acquired readily by young children as well.

Answer to Question 2

2
1. Incorrect. Coitus, masturbation, and fantasy are forms of stimulation for the physical re-sponse of the sexual response.
2. Correct. Physiologically, according to Masters (1992), sexual response can be analyzed in terms of two processes: vasocongestion and myotonia.
3. Incorrect. Erection and orgasm occur in two of the four phases of the sexual response cycle.
4. Incorrect. Excitement, plateau, and orgasm are three of the four phases of the sexual re-sponse cycle.
