  sexual problems.. The clinical nurse specialist should give clarification by saying All nurses

  aspects of sexuality throughout the life cycle..

Answer to Question 1

B
The basic education of nurses provides information sufficient to qualify the generalist to assess for
sexual dysfunction and perform health teaching. Taking a detailed sexual history and providing sex
therapy requires additional training in sex education and counseling. Options A and D: Nurses with
basic education are not qualified to be sexual counselors. Additional education is necessary. Option
C: Basic information about sexual function may be provided by the registered nurse. Complex
questions may require referral.

Answer to Question 2

B
These behaviors are most directly related to impulsivity. Option A: Hyperactive behaviors are more
physical in nature, such as running, pushing, and the inability to sit. Option C: Inattention is
demonstrated by failure to listen. Option D: Defiance is demonstrated by willfully doing what an
authority figure has said not to do.
