The population health nurse is interviewing a client who states that she is a lesbian. What statement by the client indicates the need for more education?
 
  1. Since I only have sex with females I am at a lower risk for some sexually transmitted diseases.
  2. I have less risk factors for breast cancer than a heterosexual.
  3. I do need to have routine Pap smears.
  4. I have an increased risk of heart disease.

Question 2

The most accurate description the population health nurse could give a colleague about homophobia is that it:
 
  1. Prohibits homosexuals from serving as foster parents.
  2. Encompasses a belief system that is used to justify discrimination against lesbians.
  3. Is an intolerance of all homosexuals or of homosexual feelings within oneself.
  4. Has led to homosexual activity being criminalized in all states.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. There is a higher prevalence of certain risk factors for breast cancer among lesbian women. Women who engage in sexual activity exclusively with other women seem to be at lower risk for some sexually transmitted diseases. Routine Pap smears are as important for lesbians as for heterosexuals. There is an increased risk for heart disease among lesbians perhaps because lesbians smoke more than their heterosexual sisters and tend to have a higher body mass index.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Homophobia is an irrational fear and intolerance of people who are homosexual or of homosexual feelings within oneself. Homophobia is not a law. Homophobia is not used to justify discrimination against lesbians. Homosexual activity is not criminalized in all states.
