Chapter 5 : Gender in Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
One of the factors impacting the care of the LGBTQ2 population is that the health care system remains dominated by its alignment to historical cisgenderism assumptions, evident by which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Factors impacting the care of the LGBTQ2 population include the continued dominance of historical heteronormativity and cisgenderism assumptions in the health care system. This is evident by the stereotype of gender-inclusive language and forms within health care organizations, as well as registered nurses' lack of knowledge and education in gender identity and sexual orientation terminology.
Question 2 of 5
Susan has been working on the medical surgical unit of a rural hospital for the past two years and has often heard senior nurses express their dissatisfaction with caring for members of the LGBTQ2 community.
