  D) Resident of urban community

Question 2

A nurse at a long-term care facility has completed the admission assessment of a 79-year-old male resident.
 
  The resident has identified himself as gay and has expressed sadness at having to leave his partner of several decades in order to move to the facility. The nurse should recognize that this resident is likely to have a history of:

  B) Stigmatization
  C) Nominal employment or unemployment
  D) Infectious diseases

Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Lower socioeconomic position is an overriding determinant of health status. Hispanic subgroups vary in rates of disability. While urban older adults and those in the LGBT community have special needs, their health is not significantly worse than others as a whole.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Stigma is a common experience among LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) older adults, and the likelihood of this is greater than the likelihood of homelessness, unemployment, or infectious diseases.
