The nurse at a pediatric clinic is assessing a 14-year-old male patient. The patient and his parents are concerned that he has not started puberty. The nurse anticipates the need to provide patient education about which disorder or condition?
1. Gender dysphoria
2. Priapism
3. Intersex
4. Erectile dysfunction
Answer: 3
Explanation: Disorders of sexual development, sometimes referred to as intersex conditions, are a group of conditions resulting from hormonal errors during fetal development in which internal genitalia differ from external genitalia. In some cases, these are not discovered until adolescence, when the patient fails to achieve puberty. Gender dysphoria is distress associated with psychosocial incongruence between an individual's assigned gender and the gender with which the individual identifies. Priapism is a prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours. Erectile dysfunction is a sexual dysfunction that may be acquired after a period of adequate functioning or that may occur as a lifelong inability to obtain or maintain an erection.
