Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
A transsexual man views himself as a woman trapped in a man's body; the reverse is true for a female transsexual. Transvestite is an outdated term used to describe a person who dresses like someone of the opposite sex but views himself (or herself) according to his/her biological gender. Bisexuals are attracted to both males and females. Homosexuals are attracted to those of the same gender.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Provide privacy and use careful draping. Instruments should be warm. Be sure to wear gloves during physical examination of a client's genitals.
