Question 2 of 5
Current research suggests that the barriers to recruiting male students into the nursing profession include which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Barriers to men entering the profession include sexual stereotypes, public perception, value of nursing in society, images of nursing, organization and culture of nursing, lack of positive role models, and patient preference.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements are true?
Correct Answer: B

Question 4 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 5 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. She does not want to report the nurses because she does not want to upset them, but she disagrees with their behavior. Susan is contributing to ideas of the LGBTQ2 long-standing issues in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nursing has failed in its 'long-standing silence' on LGBTQ2 health issues, which has contributed to delays in patients seeking treatment, impaired nurse-patient communication, and a lack of knowledge of LGBTQ2 issues among health care workers.
