A young homosexual adult explains to the nurse during an office visit that he has recently decided to inform his friends about his relationship and would like to know about the major challenges that he might face
Which should the nurse identify as the highest priority challenge for the client? A) Attaining sexual gratification
B) Maintaining the relationship
C) Gathering social support
D) Marriage with the partner
C
Feedback:
The nurse should identify social support as the challenge that has to be faced by a homosexual client. Once this is obtained, it will be easy for the client to maintain the relationship. Marriage with the partner will depend on the laws of the state. Sexual gratification is not likely to pose a challenge to the client.
