A man and woman at the nursing home have become very attached and want to have intimate sexual relations.Which nursing action would be most appropriate?

A) State that this is not allowed in the facility
B) Tell them they will have to leave
C) Provide them with uninterrupted time alone
D) Tell them they will need permission from their physician

As long as both parties are fully and voluntarily consenting, it is not within the scope of nursing practice to prohibit sexual activity between two adults. However, it may be appropriate to provide them with a private space to engage in intimate relations. It is important to respect the dignity and autonomy of the individuals involved while ensuring their safety and wellbeing, including providing contraceptive methods or protecting against sexually transmitted infections if necessary. The other options (A, B, and D) do not recognize the individuals' right to make their own decisions regarding their sexual activity and could be seen as violating their autonomy.
