A patient confides to the nurse that he cannot engage in sexual activity. The patient is 27 years old and has no history of chronic illness that would contribute to erectile dysfunction
What does the nurse know will be ordered for this patient to assess his sexual functioning?
A) Sperm count
B) Ejaculation capability tests
C) Engorgement tests
D) Nocturnal penile tumescence tests
Ans: D
Feedback: Nocturnal penile tumescence tests may be conducted in a sleep laboratory to monitor changes in penile circumference during sleep using various methods to determine number, duration, rigidity, and circumference of penile erections; the results help identify whether the erectile dysfunction is caused by physiologic and/or psychological factors. A sperm count would be done if the patient was complaining of infertility. Ejaculation capability tests and engorgement tests are only distracters for this question.
