Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Promoting comfort with the chosen gender role are an appropriate intervention. Discouraging genital reassignment surgery and avoiding patient discussions of hormonal treatment are not helpful and may impede the therapeutic relationship. Encouraging the patient to live as his or her assigned gender is not an effective intervention for gender dysphoria.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: According to the DSM-5, a sexual dysfunction that occurs regardless of partner, situation, or type of stimulation is considered generalized. A situational sexual dysfunction occurs only in specific circumstances or with a specific partner. A lifelong sexual dysfunction occurs from the beginning of sexual experiences. An acquired sexual dysfunction develops after normal sexual experiences began.
