A 26-year-old male client has confided in his nurse practitioner that he is rarely able to achieve an erection when he is with a partner
The client has an unremarkable medical history and, upon questioning, attributes his problem to the fact that he was raised in a family where sex was characterized as shameful, dirty, and usually immoral. Which of the following nursing diagnoses should the nurse use in the care of this client?
A) Sexual dysfunction related to lack of fulfillment
B) Ineffective sexuality patterns related to absence of sexual teaching
C) Ineffective sexuality patterns related to ineffective sexual teaching
D) Sexual dysfunction related to negative sexual teaching
Ans: D
The client's erectile dysfunction (sexual dysfunction) is associated with the negative tone of sexual teaching that he received in his family of origin. Teaching was apparently not absent, and lack of fulfillment is the consequence, not the cause, of his problem.
