All options are important nursing actions, but without a trusting relationship, women (and men) may be hesitant to share information.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
Lesbians and bisexuals are more likely to report poor physical or mental health compared with heterosexual women. Although the origins of this are not totally clear, one factor may relate to the homosexual/bisexual woman's hesitancy in seeking health care. Nurses can greatly assist with this by being nonjudgmental and by using language and questions that do not assume sexual orientation. Sexually transmitted infections do occur in this population, although woman-to-woman transmission is lower than man-to-woman transmission. Some lesbian women do seek to become pregnant and bear children; they should be apprised of all available options. Lesbian women have increased risks for breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer. Although all options are feasible, the option that has the potential to have the greatest impact is the one related to neutral language, which can be perceived as welcoming and accepting.
