Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Intrapersonal theorists look at problems occurring within the individual such as the gender discomfort found in gender dysphoria. Behavioral theorists believe the cause is social learning. Sociocultural theorists base their understanding on cultural values and understanding. Biologic theorists look at the physiologic aspects of gender identity.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse should counsel clients to observe some cautions while carrying out this technique. To avoid soft tissue and spinal injury, the muscles of the neck and back should not be excessively tightened. Tightening the muscles of the toes and feet too vigorously could also result in uncomfortable muscle cramps. Clients with cardiac arrhythmias should be cautioned against vasovagal stimulation by tensing muscles too tightly. Active progressive relaxation should be avoided with postoperative clients because it could increase pain in the postoperative period. Teach these clients passive progressive relaxation instead.
