Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is concerned about sexual performance. A 70-year-old male client reported that he is concerned about declining sexual performance. The nurse is engaging in client education to explain internal causes of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life. Which of the following internal causes should the nurse discuss? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Low testosterone levels. Testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, contributing to a decline in sexual performance in older males. This decline can lead to decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Stress (choice
A) can impact sexual performance but is not specifically related to internal causes of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life. Substance use (choice
C) can also affect sexual function but is not an internal cause. Lack of sleep (choice
D) can impact overall health and energy levels, potentially affecting sexual activity, but it is not a direct internal cause related to declining sexual performance in older males.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on discussing low testosterone levels as an internal cause of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life with the client.
