Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Include LGBT-inclusive language on forms and assessments to facilitate disclosure, knowing that disclosure is a choice impacted by many factors. For example, provide options such as partnered under relationship status. For parents, use parent/guardian, instead of mother/father. Use neutral and inclusive language when talking with patients (e.g., partner or significant other), listening and reflecting patient's choice. Remember that some LGBT patients are also legally married.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Gay, lesbian, and bisexual young people have a significantly increased risk for depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, and substance use disorders, being 4 times as likely as their straight peers to make suicide attempts that require medical attention. Caucasian youth, Asian Americans, and African-Americans are not as likely to attempt suicide resulting in medical attention.
