The LI section of the PLISSIT format stands for Limited Information, and the nurse should provide accurate but concise information in response to any sexual questions that might be asked by the client. This helps to address any knowledge deficit and provide the client with necessary information without overwhelming or causing anxiety. Option A is incorrect because limiting information may not be helpful to the client in understanding their sexual dysfunction. Option C is incorrect because using slang terms is not professional and may cause confusion. Option D is incorrect because providing research literature falls under the SS section (Specific Suggestions).
