a. "Hormones of sexual regulation decrease with aging."
b. "Orgasms are no longer achievable after menopause."
c. "The excitement phase is prolonged as we age."
d. "As men age, their erection may be less firm."
ANS: B
Believing that orgasms are no long achievable requires follow-up to correct this misconception. Orgasms are achievable at any age; however, it may take longer with aging. All other statements indicate that the patient does have an understanding of age-related changes and needs no follow-up. Both genders experience a reduced availability of sex hormones. The excitement phase prolongs in both men and women. Men often have erections that are less firm and shorter acting.
