A male patient who experienced a heart attack 6 months ago tells the nurse that he did not realize that his sexual life would be over so early in life
What information would be appropriate for the nurse to share with this patient? (Select all that apply.) A) Encourage to cultivate hobbies
B) Teach about alternative positions to avoid strain
C) Instruct to avoid large meals for several hours before sex
D) Plan to take medications for peak effectiveness during sex
E) Explain that everyone experiences an end to sexual experiences
B, C, D
Feedback:
Heart disease can interfere with sexual functioning. The nurse should teach the patient about alternative positions to avoid strain, avoiding large meals for several hours before sex to reduce the strain on the heart, and taking medications for peak effectiveness during sex. The nurse should not support the patient's belief that his sex life is over by encouraging him to cultivate hobbies and explaining that everyone experiences an end to sexual experiences because this is not true.
