Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This client is a member of the lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgendered,or intersex (physically ambiguous gender)(LGBTI)group.LGBTI individuals may have suffered significant disparities in health status and health care in relation to their sexual identity and behavior and unique needs.Thus,their health care has not been similar to that of other U.S.citizens.There is no evidence that they would not be receptive to education from the nurse.Moreover,although the client has resisted mainstream lifestyles and behaviors,this would not be as important to consider in providing care.
