Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The husband's prostate problem can affect his sexual performance and needs further exploration. Premarin cream helps when vaginal dryness occurs because of estrogen withdrawal. Diabetes has an effect on vaginal lubrication. Petroleum jelly increases risk for infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Even when no physiologic basis exists for abstaining from sexual intercourse after an MI, sexual activity is often limited or absent because of fatigue, depression, diminished sexual desire, and fears and anxiety of the person or the sexual partner. Diabetes can cause retrograde ejaculation. An MI does not cause vasoconstriction.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
