Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Sexual aversion disorder, erectile disorder, and dyspareunia are examples of sexual dysfunctions that are disturbances in any phase of the sexual response cycle. They are usually related to psychological distress, medication, and physical illness. Sadism and exhibitionism are examples of paraphiliassexual variations that depart from society's traditional and acceptable modes of seeking sexual gratification.

Answer to Question 2

D
Because this client has been given the diagnosis of schizophrenia and frequently has auditory hallucinations, his perception of the communication must be considered. Use of simple, concrete language will assist the client in following the conversation without having to interpret what the nurse means during the interaction. Encouraging the client not to verbalize and doing most of the talking do not allow the client to express himself, and discussing several different topics will be confusing and may cause the client undue stress during the interaction.
