Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2
Explanation: 1. Most FTM transgender individuals continue to need regular cervical cancer screening and screening for breast cancer. The client is genetically female so a prostate gland is not a part of the client's anatomy. Throat cultures and tuberculosis tests are not considered routine screenings.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The one strategy to help prevent disease from unprotected anal intercourse is the use of a condom. Having monthly HIV testing is an inappropriate suggestion. Altering the type of intercourse does not meet the client's need. Considering a monogamous relationship does not reduce the threat of illness from unprotected anal intercourse.
