A 68-year-old male patient tells the nurse that he has been unable to get an erection for the past 6 months and he guesses his sex life is over
The provider orders diagnostic testing to determine whether sildenafil (Viagra) is appropriate for the patient. What is the most correct nursing diagnosis for this patient? A) Sexual dysfunction
B) Disturbed body image
C) Ineffective sexuality pattern
D) Disturbed tactile sensory perception
A
Feedback:
The patient is experiencing sexual dysfunction so that would be the most appropriate nursing diagnosis. The patient did not discuss feeling let down by or unhappy with his body so disturbed body image is incorrect. The effectiveness of sexual pattern is not known. No problem with sensory perception is indicated by this question.
