When planning care for a client diagnosed with female sexual interest/arousal disorder, what should a nurse document as an expected outcome of senate focus exercises?
1. To initiate immediate orgasm
2. To reduce anxiety by eliminating physical touch
3. To focus on touching breasts and genitals
4. To reduce goal-oriented demands of intercourse
4
Rationale: Female sexual interest/arousal disorder is characterized by a reduced or absent frequency or intensity of interest or pleasure in sexual activity. Senate focus exercises are highly structured touching activities designed to help overcome performance anxiety and increase comfort with physical intimacy. The expected outcome of senate focus exercises is to reduce goal-oriented demands of intercourse. The reduction in demands reduces performance pressures and anxiety associated with possible failure.
