Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The desire for human warmth and contact does not cease because of pain. Altered or modified positions for coitus are sometimes necessary, and discussing these with clients can be an important part of implementing the nursing process. The nurse should not discourage the client from wanting to enjoy sex, but should explore ways to help her.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Deodorized pads and tampons do little to minimize odor and can cause chemical irritation to the vulva and vagina. Good hygiene and regular bathing are much more effective during menses to prevent odor. Pads and tampons should be changed frequently to prevent odor and irritation from wetness, usually every few hours.
