A 68-yr-old male patient tells the nurse that he is worried because he does not respond to sexual stimulation the same way he did when he was younger. Which is the nurse’s best response to the patient’s concern?

  • A. “Interest in sex frequently decreases as men get older.”
  • B. “Many men need additional sexual stimulation with aging.”
  • C. “Erectile dysfunction is a common problem with older men.”
  • D. “Tell me more about how your sexual response has change
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Many men need additional sexual stimulation with aging." With aging, physiological changes can affect sexual response. Additional stimulation may be required due to lower hormone levels and decreased sensitivity. This response acknowledges the patient's concern and provides a factual explanation.

Incorrect answers:
A: "Interest in sex frequently decreases as men get older." - While libido may decrease with age, it doesn't directly address the patient's concern about sexual response.
C: "Erectile dysfunction is a common problem with older men." - Erectile dysfunction is only one aspect of sexual response and may not be the main issue for the patient.
D: "Tell me more about how your sexual response has changed." - While this shows empathy, it doesn't provide information or address the potential need for additional stimulation.
