Which is the priority when assessing the client's sexual history?

1. Determining sexual health.
2. Asking about sexual orientation.
3. Establishing rapport.
4. Assessing age of secondary sex characteristics.


Correct Answer: 3
Ideally, to allow for a holistic approach to assessing and caring for the client, biographic data should include information related to sexual health, including sexual orientation label. However, discussion of sensitive information, including that related to sexual health and practices, requires the nurse to first establish trust and a rapport with the client.
