Which of the following interventions is most appropriate for the nurse to offer when helping a client with gender dysphoria?
1. Focus on promoting comfort with the chosen gender role.

1
Rationale: Focusing on promoting comfort with the chosen gender role helps the client with the disorder. Discouraging genital reassignment surgery and avoiding client discussions of hormonal treatment places the nurse in a situation of not providing support for the client. Encouraging the client to live as their assigned gender is not an effective intervention for gender dysphoria.
