Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discussing alternatives to sexual intercourse may help reduce the client's anxiety by providing him with other options and easing the pressure to perform sexually. It is important to respect the client's feelings and not push him into discussing sexual patterns if he is uncomfortable. Discouraging him from sharing his feelings with his partner may further isolate the client and worsen his anxiety. Kegel exercises may not address the client's concerns about ineffective sexuality patterns after a urinary diversion procedure.
