The most appropriate short-term nursing goals for Jose are those that address his current stressors and mental health status. Option A is appropriate because helping Jose identify stressors that may contribute to his loss of sexual desire will aid in developing strategies to address these stressors and potentially improve his sexual function. Option C is also appropriate because identifying symptoms of depression that may contribute to his loss of sexual desire could facilitate early intervention and treatment for his depression, which could improve his overall functioning and quality of life. Options B and D are not appropriate short-term goals because they focus solely on Jose's sexual activity and do not address his underlying stressors and mental health concerns.
