B. “This procedure should have no effect on your sexual performance or adequacy.”
C. “You’ll be fine. I can’t imagine you and your partner will have any problems with
sexual function.”
D. “If this concerns you, perhaps you should reconsider and use another form of
contraception.”
Answer: “This procedure should have no effect on your sexual performance or
adequacy.”
A. ??????
The nurse is dismissing the client’s question, providing no information to help the client
make an informed decision.
B. “This procedure should have no effect on your sexual performance or adequacy.”
The nurse is giving the client the information she is seeking. Sexual function depends on
various hormonal and psychological factors. Therefore, tubal occlusion should have no
physiological effect on sexual function.
C. “You’ll be fine. I can’t imagine you and your partner will have any problems with
sexual function.”
The nurse is giving the client unwarranted reassurance without addressing the
information the client is seeking.
D. “If this concerns you, perhaps you should reconsider and use another form of
contraception.”
The nurse is giving the client unwarranted advice which might imply that there is a
reason to be concerned about the effect of the procedure on sexual function.
