After Having an AMI, a 62-Year-Old Patient Tells the Nurse

After having an AMI, a 62-year-old patient tells the nurse, "I guess having sex again will be too hard on my heart." The nurse's best response is

A) "Sexual intercourse may be too strenuous on your heart, but closeness and intimacy can be maintained with holding and cuddling."
B) "You should discuss your questions about your sexual activity with your doctor because the activity it requires is a medical concern."
C) "Sexual activity can be resumed whenever you feel like you are ready. Most sexual response is emotional rather than physical."
D) "Sexual activity can be gradually resumed like other activity. A good comparison of energy expenditure is climbing two flights of stairs."
