Answer to Question 1

B
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can occur at any age. This patient's chronic illness and its effect on the vascular system have priority when educating the patient about possible causes of ED. After discussing physiologic causes of ED, the nurse can then turn to psychosocial causes. Physical issues take priority over psychosocial ones.

Answer to Question 2

B
All questions are appropriate; however, for a woman this age, further testing is not recommended unless the patient is willing to go through with treatment for cancer. Tumors in older women tend to be slow growing and quality of life is a bigger priority.
