NUR 108 Ch 45 Sexuality1. The nurse is justified in assessing for sexual dysfunction among male clients who are
receiving which of the following?
Antihypertensive medication
Antibiotics
Bronchodilators
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Answer
Antihypertensive medication

Antihypertensives are among the drugs implicated in sexual dysfunction. Antihypertensives can
decrease forceful blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to achieve an erection. Antibiotics,
bronchodilators, and NSAIDs do not typically have this effect.

Menarche
Explanation
The first menstrual period, called menarche, is experienced at about 12 years of age. Menstruation
is often referred to as a woman's "period" or "menses." Menopause is the cessation of a
woman's menstrual activity. In the ovaries, in a typical 28-day cycle, the phase from day 4 to 14
is called the follicular phase.

"Have you ever been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection?"
Answer
"What questions or concerns do you have about your sexual health?"
Explanation
An open-ended, nonthreatening question related to the client's need for further information
should be included while obtaining a sexual history. "Are you involved in an intimate
relationship at this time?" and "Have you ever been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted
disease? "are closed ended questions requiring a yes or no response. Asking how many
sexualpartners, while open ended, is threatening and assumes that the adolescent has had
multiple partners.

behavior or orientation, and sexual orientation or preference. Gender role behavior is the
behavior a person conveys about being male or female. Biologic sex is the term used to denote
chromosomal sexual development. Gender identity is the inner sense a person has of being male
or female. Sexual orientation refers to the preferred gender of a person's partner.

sexual intercourse. Norplant is a hormonal method of birth control. Sterilization is a surgical
method of birth control.

occur in people younger than 25 years of age. The incidence of STIs is increasing due to
multiple sex partners and sexual activity at a younger age. STIs affect men and women of all
backgrounds and economic levels. Not all signs and symptoms of STI's are obvious such as
HIV/AIDS.

response. Blood flow to the penis returns to normal levels during the resolution phase.
