In both genders, the reduced availability of sex hormones in older adults results in less rapid and less extreme vascular responses to sexual arousal. The nurse should first share this information with the patient then offer to talk more about concerns. Although this is a normal finding, simply stating this does not give the woman much information. The nurse should be willing to discuss sexual concerns with the patient and not just pass the patient along to someone else.
