Sexuality and Intimacy Questions And
Answers
Ans: D

Feedback:

Inaccuracies and misconceptions around sexuality and older adults persist, despite profound

changes in the societal views of the topic of sexuality in general. Sexuality is not commonly

valued or recognized by society, and interest and activity are presumed to decline and even

disappear in older age.

Sexuality and Intimacy Questions And
Answers
B) HIV/AIDS is spreading more quickly among older adults than among younger adults.

C) Older adults frequently forego condom use because the risk of pregnancy does not exist.

D) Many older adults assume that STIs are problems of younger adults only.

E) Because of the hormonal changes that accompany menopause, older women are in fact more

prone to sexually transmitted diseases than younger adults.

Ans: B, C, D

Feedback:

Older adults often forego condom use and assume STIs are not a problem, despite the increasing

incidence of HIV/AIDS in older adults. Susceptibility to STIs does not necessarily increase in

older adults in general or in older women specifically. In the older population, the use of

condoms is often avoided because the risk of pregnancy does not exist. Hormonal changes in

menopause do not increase an older woman's susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases.

symptoms but is concerned about the risks. How can the health care provider best guide the

patient decision to begin or forego HRT? A) "The significant increases in the risk of heart

disease make HRT a risky treatment that is best avoided."

B) "You won't likely be increasing your risk of heart disease if you begin HRT, but neither will

you be preventing."

C) "The overall effectiveness of HRT in alleviating the unwanted changes that following

menopause has been disproven."

D) "HRT can best be described as a tradeoff, where menopausal symptoms decrease but there is a

significantly increased risk of hip fractures and breast cancer."

Ans: B

Feedback:

Although women can feel reassured that they are not increasing their risk for cardiovascular

disease by using hormones to treat symptoms as they go through menopause, it is not wise to

extrapolate from the data that women should take hormones for the prevention of heart disease.

HRT is not noted to increase the risk of breast cancer or hip fractures, while the effectiveness at
