title: Unlocking sexual issues. Counseling strategies for nurses.
abstract: Providing truly holistic care means that nurses must recognize that their clients are sexual beings and that they often suffer from sexual concerns and problems related to their past history and their current medical problems. In addition to helping clients move toward physical wellness, nurses should intervene with intrapersonal and interpersonal problems affecting client's sexual feelings and behaviors.
