Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: In order to reduce and eliminate discrimination when caring for a patient with gender dysphoria, the nurse will ask open-ended questions that engage the patient to actively participate in care. The nurse will not ask for a patient reassignment or for information from a co-worker regarding the patient's condition.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4, 5
Explanation: Knowledge of sex and personal attitudes about sex are categories for self-assessment and self-awareness. Although professional standards of care, personal practices, and educational practices related to sex and sexual disorders are important, these are not areas of self-assessment when caring for patients who have sexual disorders.
