A 26-year-old female client diagnosed with bipolar disorder delivers her first child. The nurse's assessment is guided by the knowledge that epidemiological data suggests:
a. Values and beliefs about sexual lifestyles.
b. Anger and mistrust of homosexual males in general.
c. Discomfort with men who are unable to control their emotions.
d. Hostility over having to care for someone with a sexually transmitted infection
Ans: a. Values and beliefs about sexual lifestyles.
This statement reflects values and beliefs regarding homosexuality as being bad and deserving of punishment. There is not enough evidence presented to justify drawing the conclusion that the nursing assistant has anger and mistrust of homosexual males in general or discomfort with men who are unable to control their emotions. Although there may be hostility over having to care for someone with a sexually transmitted infection, no information is given to suggest that the nursing assistant has been assigned to care for this client.
