Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing response involves restating the client's feeling and developing a plan with the client to solve the problem. According to Skinner, every interaction is an opportunity for therapeutic intervention to improve communication and relationship-development skills.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
Rationale: Based on the data collected during a nursing assessment, possible nursing diagnoses for the child with gender dysphoria may include the following: Disturbed personal identity related to biological factors or parenting patterns that encourage culturally unacceptable behaviors for assigned gender, impaired social interaction related to socially and culturally unacceptable behaviors, and low self-esteem related to rejection by peers. Self-care deficit and activity intolerance do not address the typical problems of clients diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
