  c. Permit the client to speak openly by communicating an open, accepting attitude

Answer to Question 1

C
The PLISSIT model was developed as a guideline for sex therapy. Although basic nursing education does not prepare you to provide sex therapy, the first three PLISSIT steps have been adapted to address sexual knowledge deficits that you are qualified to treat. The first step, P, is to provide permission. Permission means that you communicate an open, accepting attitude so the client feels free to ask questions and express concerns and feelings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Men with erectile dysfunction have persistent or recurring inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. When the patient is maintaining penile erection through orgasm, this is an indication the interventions were successful. ED is not related to sexual orientation or exposure to STIs. Comfort with communicating about sexual needs is helpful for sexual satisfaction but is not the cause of ED.
