Complete an organ inventory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> The nurse should complete the organ inventory as part of the comprehensive client assessment. An organ inventory is an anatomical record of the presence or absence of the client\u2019s sex-related organs.

Share your pronouns with the client<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> By the nurse sharing their own pronouns with the client, this action supports a gender-inclusive environment, portrays acceptance to the client, and helps build trust in the nurse-client relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Takeaway\"><\/span>Major Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When caring for a client who is transgender, the nurse\u2019s goal is to provide client-centered, gender-inclusive care within a friendly, dependable environment. The nurse should first introduce themself by stating their own name and pronouns if they feel comfortable doing this. The nurse should also confirm the client&#8217;s chosen name, pronouns, and gender identity and then use those in every interaction with and about the client. Next, the nurse should ensure that the care is medically appropriate by verifying that an organ inventory has been completed.<strong> <\/strong>An organ inventory is an anatomical record of the presence or absence of the client\u2019s sex-related body parts. This inventory can be useful in medical decision-making and for preventative care such as breast, cervical, or prostate cancer screenings, as well as for tests such as pregnancy testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A. Refer to the client as he\/him when documenting nursing progress notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> This nursing action would not support a gender-inclusive environment. The client has stated that their preferred pronouns are she\/her. Therefore, the client\u2019s electronic health record (EHR), including nursing progress notes, should reflect this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>E. Ask the client why they choose not to use their legal name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale: <\/strong>This nursing action does not support a gender-inclusive environment. The nurse should avoid asking \u201cwhy\u201d questions as it can create a judgmental environment, especially for a client who is transitioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_to_learn_more_about_this_topic\"><\/span>Want to learn more about this topic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read this blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/how-to-provide-culturally-responsive-care-to-gender-diverse-communities\">How to Provide Culturally-Responsive Care to Gender-Diverse Communities<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/plans\/rn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hm-healthdigital-multisite.go-vip.net\/osmosisblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
