Answer to Question 1

B
The patient's statement he has depression but does not associate it with interference in his sex life, warrants education by the nurse on the contributing factors of erectile dysfunction (ED).
Erectile dysfunction is commonly associated with chronic illnesses, especially diabetes, hyper-tension, and depression.
Not having an interest in sex is different from being unable to perform.
Stress may affect desire, but it does not automatically mean that the patient cannot perform.

Answer to Question 2

d
