Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Sexual Dysfunction: Dyspareunia is the correct choice because dyspareunia means painful intercourse. Altered Sexuality Patterns: Change in sexual expression is more about not being able to do what is usual for a particular person or client. The client has no loss of desire, but cannot enjoy sex because of pain. The problem is not about positioning, but about vaginal pain with intercourse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
Masturbation is a technique of sexual expression in which an individual practices self-stimulation. It is a way for a person to learn what he or she prefers during stimulation and what feels good. People masturbate regardless of sex, age, or marital status. Masturbation is not dirty and will not lead to blindness or insanity.
