Answer to Question 1

D
Time, distance, and shielding are the basis of radiation exposure and protection. Nurses should limit the time in contact with the client, keep the maximum distance from the client whenever possible, and use appropriate radiation shields, such as lead aprons.

Answer to Question 2

A
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individuals have unique stressors related to their sexual orientation. Peer, family, and social support is often lacking for this population that is at high risk for health issues such as STIs, HIV, depression, and victimization. Sexual dysfunction interferes with sexual health and is a problem with desire, arousal, or orgasm. Sexually transmit-ted infections (STI) are infections spread through oral, anal, or vaginal activity. The use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of STIs via any route of transmission.
