Abstract
Asking question about sexuality forms part of the nursing assessment but is often overlooked because of the embarrassment of both nurse and patient. However, failure to identify erection problems, either actual or potential, can result in distress, making eventual treatment more difficult. A prompt assessment and referral to an erectile dysfunction clinic are required.
