While conducting a health history with a client, which of the following findings could provide a possible cause for the client's recent experience with erectile dysfunction?
1. Plays golf twice a week
2. Treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus for 7 years
3. Body mass index (BMI) 24.5
4. Blood pressure 118/68 mmHg
2. Treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus for 7 years
Rationale:
The risk factors for erectile dysfunction are numerous. They include advancing age, diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, trauma, and the use of prescription or illicit drugs. Excessive use of alcohol can also result in erectile dysfunction. Recreational sports, a body mass index within normal limits, and a normal blood pressure would not provide a possible cause for the client's recent experience with the disorder.
