Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cognitive therapy and knowledge of ADHD will make it possible for the patient to reframe the past and present in a more positive and realistic light and to challenge internalized false beliefs about self. Aversive therapy would not be useful for the patient. Group therapy may be valuable later to allow for the testing of new coping behaviors in a safe environment. Vocational counseling can help the patient explore suitable career options while pursuing treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Before a nurse can be helpful to patients with sexual dysfunction, he or she must be aware of and comfortable with his or her own feelings about sex and sexuality. Nurses must be comfortable with the idea that patients have a right to their own values and must avoid criticism and censure.
