The population health nurse is reviewing psychological determinants of health in preparation for a meeting with a group of male community leaders
What should the nurse keep in mind about the general dimensions of the stereotypical male role when meeting with the group?
1. Freely demonstrate affection.
2. Are more reliant on others.
3. Participate in routine health care screenings.
4. View oneself as superior to others.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Society has socialized both men and women to accept a stereotypical male role that makes it difficult to meet basic psychological needs. General dimensions of this stereotyped role include a need to refrain from behaviors ascribed to women as freely demonstrating affection, a need to be self-reliant, and a need to be powerful and superior. Internalization of the typical male gender role has been shown to be associated with less attention to routine health care screenings.
