Answer to Question 1

A
Sexual dysfunction is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a patient who is experiencing a problem affecting one or more phases of arousal. This is the primary problem reported by this patient.

The patient has not indicated she does not become aroused, just that she cannot achieve orgasm.

B, C
Persons with depression, anxiety disorders, or phobias often respond well to therapeutic interventions and have no further problems. However, for a certain group of individuals, mental illness becomes a way of life.
