B.
The spouse has never seen the client naked.
C.
The client has had surgery for permanent birth control.
D.
A history of a 20-lb weight loss occurred in the past year. –
Correct Answer :B
Rationale:
It is usual for spouses to see each other without clothing, so a follow-up
question about option B should provide additional information about the client's
self-concept and body image. Options A and C are choices within the continuum
of normal and acceptable sexual needs based on each couple's preferences.
Body image is a perception of one's physical self, and weight gain or loss
normally affects one's self-image.

Further assessment is indicated because loss of abdominal muscle tone and
constipation do not occur with aging.
C.
With age, more fatty tissue develops in the abdomen and decreased intestinal
movement can cause constipation.
D.
Because there is no evidence of a diseased colon, there is no need to worry
about abdominal size. –
Correct Answer :C
Rationale:
With aging, the abdominal muscles weaken as fatty tissue is deposited around
the trunk and waist. Slowing peristalsis also affects the emptying of the colon,
resulting in constipation. Option A is not the primary reason for the changes in
body structure. Option B is not indicated because loss of muscle tone and
constipation are age-related changes. Option D dismisses the client's concerns
and does not help her understand the changes that she is experiencing.

C.
An 81-year-old woman who states that she enjoys having her grandchildren visit
but is usually glad when they go home
D.
A 75-year-old woman who wishes her friends were still alive so she could change
some of the choices she made over the years –
Correct Answer :D
Rationale:
The older woman who wishes she could change the choices she has made in her
lifetime is expressing despair and is still searching for integrity. The nurse uses
Erikson stages of development over the lifespan to assess an older client's
adjustment to aging and plans teaching strategies to assist the client to attain
integrity versus despair. Options A, B, and C are normal developmental tasks of
older adults.
