The high school student tells the school nurse that during biology the class learned that alcohol is associated with erectile dysfunction. The student wonders why so many girls get pregnant during evenings when alcohol is consumed
The nurse plans a response based upon which concept?
1. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant which affects judgment.
2. Erectile dysfunction only occurs after years of alcohol abuse.
3. Alcohol is a sexual stimulant.
4. Erectile dysfunction occurs only in men older than 50.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment.
Rationale 2: Situational erectile dysfunction often occurs when the male partner is drunk. Chronic erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, and alcohol abuse is associated with this problem.
Rationale 3: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment. It is not a sexual stimulant.
Rationale 4: Situational erectile dysfunction often occurs when the male partner is drunk. Chronic erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, and alcohol abuse is associated with this problem.
