Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate question to ask when conducting a health history for a patient with erectile dysfunction is whether the patient has maintained an interest in sex. This can help the nurse assess whether the patient is experiencing a physiological or psychological issue that may be contributing to the dysfunction. Asking about sexual orientation or number of partners is not relevant to the immediate concern of erectile dysfunction. Similarly, asking about types of sexual activity is not as important as asking about the patient's level of interest in sexual activity.
