- Demonstrate greater ability to sensitively address the issue of sexual impairment and/or dysfunction among the older, medically-ill patient by defining the four levels of the PLISSIT model
- Predict at least four common themes in treatment and how to utilize an evidence-based intervention to ameliorate specific symptoms and improve overall quality of life in these patients
