about this statement?
a. The patient is a homosexual.
b. The patient‘s behaviors are abnormal.
c. The patient‘s actions differ from what is expected.

Gender roles are socially imposed ―rules‖ about the behavior appropriate for men and women.
When someone does not conform to gender role expectations, his/her behaviors are at odds
with those expected by society. The patient is not necessarily homosexual, abnormal, or
having a crisis.

6. A patient has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and the patient‘s
partner is angry, saying, ―She must have cheated on me.‖ What response by the nurse is most
appropriate?
a. ―This infection may have been present for a long time.‖
b. ―You need to be tested for this disease too.‖
c. ―Yes, you‘re right; if you don‘t have the STD, she cheated.‖
d. ―Now, now, getting angry will not help anything.‖
ANS: A
Some STD symptoms may go unnoticed for a long time. Telling the partner to get tested as
well without further explanation is likely to cause defensiveness. The nurse has no way of
knowing if the patient ―cheated‖ on the partner or not. Telling the partner not to get angry is
dismissive of his/her concerns.
