A Nurse Is Anxious About Assessing the Sexual History of a Patient

A nurse is anxious about assessing the sexual history of a patient who is considerably older than the nurse is. Which statement would be most appropriate for obtaining information about the patient's sexual practices?

A) "Some people are not sexually active, others have a partner, and some have several partners. What has been your pattern?"
B) "Sexual health can reflect a number of medical problems, so I'd like to ask if you have any sexual problems you think we should know about."
C) "It's your own business, of course, but it might be helpful for us to have some information about your sexual history. Could you tell me about that, please?"
D) "I would appreciate it if you could share your sexual history with me so I can share it with your health care provider. It might be helpful in planning your treatment."
