A client is being admitted to the mental health unit. When completing the affective assessment of the client's sexual history, the nurse asks:

1. "When you were growing up, how did you learn about sex?"
2. "With whom do you feel most intimate and connected?"
3. "To what degree do you experience pleasure during sexual activity?"
4. "What are the positive aspects of your own sexual functioning?"

Rationale: "With whom do you feel most intimate and connected?" is an affective assessment question because it deals with feelings. "What are the positive aspects of your own sexual functioning?" is a behavioral assessment question. "When you were growing up, how did you learn about sex?" is a cognitive assessment question. "To what degree do you experience pleasure during sexual activity?" is a sensation assessment question.
