Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: During the assessment, the nurse is attending to the client's response; therefore, the language level of the nurse is not relative. The language level used by the nurse is a stimulus for the response of the client.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The etiology of transsexualism is unknown. It is not known if the etiology can be explained by intrapersonal, sociocultural, or biologic theory. Many consider transsexualism to be a normal variation and not a disorder.
