Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While sexual health is an important aspect of a patient's overall health, it may not be the most relevant or appropriate initial question to ask when conducting a health history for a patient who is scheduled for a mitral valve replacement. Questions about sexual functioning may be more appropriate for patients with specific sexual health concerns or those who are undergoing surgeries that directly affect sexual function. A question about whether the patient's illness has altered their usual sexual experiences can provide important information about the patient's overall health and well-being, and may also help identify any other concerns that need to be addressed during the presurgical assessments.
