Which statement made by a postmenopausal woman would the nurse evaluate as indicating the need for further assessment?
1. "For some reason, I have more sexual desire than ever.".
2. "I use water-soluble lubricant to treat my vaginal dryness.".
3. "I am so glad that I don't need to worry about sex anymore.".
4. "Sex certainly takes longer than it used to, but I'm getting used to that.".
3. "I am so glad that I don't need to worry about sex anymore.".
Rationale:
The nurse would further assess the client who made the statement, "I am so glad that I don't need to worry about sex anymore.". This statement is unclear. Does it mean that the client is glad not to have to engage in sex anymore or does it mean that she will not have to worry about getting pregnant anymore? The other statements reflect normal changes associated with aging and healthy responses to those changes.
