Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Many individuals are not given adequate information regarding the impact of illness on sex-ual relations and therefore are fearful and reduce sexual activity. Changes might be needed in order to accommodate the illness, but curtailing sexual relations is not necessary. The energy expended during sex is not equivalent to briskly climbing six flights of stairs. And while the couple may benefit from attending a support group, that fact does not address the immediate situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Talking with clients about retirement plans, providing anticipatory guidance about the transi-tion to retirement, identifying those who may be at risk for boredom and health concerns, and referring to appropriate resources for retirement planning and support are important nursing interventions. The client could also take this time to consider prevention and lifestyle changes which can be identified by scheduling a full physical examination.
