Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale 1: Characteristics of sexual health include knowledge about sexuality and sexual behavior.
Rationale 2: Reluctance to discuss sexual history is not a characteristic of sexual health.
Rationale 3: Characteristics of sexual health include the right to make free and responsible reproductive choices.
Rationale 4: Making a statement that there are no issues with sexuality is not a characteristic of sexual health.
Rationale 5: Characteristics of sexual health include the ability to access sexual health care for sexual concerns, problems, and disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: IT represents intensive therapy. At this point in intervention, the nurse recognizes that the client requires therapy with a nurse who has specialized preparation and knowledge of sexual and gender identity disorders. Referral or recommendation for intensive therapy is required. Using information technology or informal therapeutic groups does not reflect this need for more intensive therapy. Evaluation of previous interventions and treatments is not a part of the format.
