Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The needs of older adults for love and intimacy remain the same regardless of whether the indi-viduals are institutionalized. Meeting the needs of the residents for sexuality and intimacy is as important as the need for food and hydration. Sexual desire is present in older adults. Sexual ac-tivity is not dangerous for older adults. Some accommodations for chronic conditions might be required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The consent zone requires the nurse to seek out or ask permission to touch or initiate procedures to these areas. The touch should not occur unless it is absolutely necessary. Draping is appropriate but doesn't occur until permission is granted. Having another nurse present is not always neces-sary unless the touch is by a male nurse upon a female client.
