Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Persons with pedophilic disorder usually place themselves in jobs, activities, or relationships that provide easy access to children. They often become trusted by both parents and children. The other characteristics have no particular relationship to pedophilic disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Explaining that sexual practices vary helps reduce patient anxiety about the topic by normalizing the full range of sexual practices so that whatever his situation, the patient can feel comfortable sharing it. It's your business of course implies the nurse does not have a valid reason to seek the information and in effect suggests that the patient perhaps should not answer the question. It might be helpful makes the information seem less valid or important for the nurse to pursue and, again, could discourage the patient from responding fully. Asking if the patient has any sexual problems that staff should know about is not unprofessional, but it is a very broad question that may increase a patient's uncertainty about what the nurse wants to hear, thus increasing his anxiety. Defining or giving an example of sexual problem would make this inquiry more effective.
