Question 1

health care providers for which of the following
reasons?
1. They assume that health care providers know little
about sexual functioning.
2. Most clients have few, if any, questions or problems.
3. Female clients prefer to discuss problems with female
health care providers.

Rationales 1
1. Most people assume that providers have a
great deal of information.
2. Many clients have questions and concerns.
3. While talking with someone of the same
gender may make it easier for some women, it
is not a requirement for assessment and
intervention.
4. Correct. Clients still may feel a great deal of
shame and discomfort regarding sexuality.
8. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 2

transsexual. Appropriate care is based on this
knowledge. Which of the following is most
representative of this client?
1. Gonadal gender, internal organs, and external genitals
are contradictory.
2. Sexual anatomy is not consistent with gender identity.
3. Sexual attraction is to individuals of both genders.
4. Gender identity is altered by acute psychosis.
9. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 2

gender is not the same gender as they
feel themselves to be.

10. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 3
A male client is beginning an antidepressant medication. Which of
the following should be included in the teaching?
1. “Your partner will be pleased because your sexual functioning is
going to improve.”
2. “You may find that your desire for sex will decrease while on this
medication.”
3. “Retrograde ejaculation is a common problem when taking
antidepressants.”
4. “Your skin will probably become supersensitive to touch, so you
may need to change your activity during sex.”
11. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 3
1. If the depression lifts, there may be an
improvement but the focus in option 1 is on the
partner rather than where it should be—on the
client.
2. Correct. Orgasmic response and sex drive
are often inhibited by antidepressants.
3. Retrograde ejaculation is associated with
removal of the prostate.
4. Skin hypersensitivity is not a side effect of
antidepressant medications.
12. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 4
A client who had a hysterectomy 3 days ago, says to
the nurse, “I no longer feel like a real woman.” What is
the best response?
1. “Don’t worry about that. The feeling will probably go
away.”
2. “You should talk to your doctor about how you feel.”
3. “I don’t blame you. I would feel like half a woman also.”
4. “I hear your concern. Tell me more about your
feelings.”
13. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 4
1. Option 1 is an unprofessional response and
false reassurance. The ANA Code of Ethics
indicates that clients are entitled to a timely
and appropriate response to their needs.
2. Option 2 suggests postponing the discussion
and that the physician is the better person to
deal with her concerns, which is untrue.
3. Option 3 represents feeding into her negative
self-concept and inappropriate self-disclosure.
4. Correct. More information is needed before
intervening. Also, the client needs the
opportunity to express her feelings.
14. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 5
A 75-year-old male client reports decreased frequency
of sexual intercourse although he does not express
dissatisfaction or difficulty. He seems a little
embarrassed by the discussion but is engaged and
asks some questions. An appropriate nursing
diagnosis would be which of the following?
1. Sexual Dysfunction
2. Disturbed Body Image
3. Sedentary Lifestyle
4. Readiness for Enhanced Knowledge
15. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 5
1. It does not suggest pathology.
2. It does not suggest disturbed body image.
3. It would be incorrect to assume his lifestyle is
sedentary merely because the frequency of his
sexual activity has decreased.
4. Correct. A change in sexual frequency is not
abnormal but may suggest an opportunity for
enhanced knowledge if he desires. Further
assessment of the reason for the decrease in
sexual activity is indicated.
