2026/2027 (KEY CONCEPTS IN LGBTQIA+ HEALTH CARE
AND SUPPORT) WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS/ VERIFIED/GRADED A+
A 27-year-old patient has entered your inpatient facility in a state of
alcohol withdrawal. She says it has been 12 hours since she had her last
drink. What is the earliest point at which you would expect to see
delirium tremens in this patient? ......ANSWER......Delirium tremens
(DTs) can present as early as 48 hours into alcohol withdrawal; thus, a
patient who has been sober for 12 hours may start to exhibit DTs within
the next 36 hours. DTs may present anywhere from 48 to 72 hours (e.g.,
60 hours) after discontinuation of alcohol. Within the first 24-48 hours
after alcohol discontinuation, a patient entering withdrawal is more
likely to exhibit findings such as hallucinations and seizures.
Which of the following would most likely need to be reported to local
authorities?
A 35-year-old female reports to the emergency department with a dog
bite on her hand
A 29-year-old female is diagnosed with community-acquired
pneumonia.
A 32-year-old male comes to your hospital after being sexually
assaulted

A 26-year-old male arrives at your clinic with injuries suggestive of
intimate partner violence ......ANSWER......All states require that nurses
report animal bites to the authorities (e.g., health department, animal
control) in order to control possible cases of rabies. Some states have
mandatory reporting laws for intimate partner violence, but not all
states do.
Community-acquired pneumonia is not a disease that needs to be
reported to the health department upon diagnosis. Although sexual
assault incidents involving children, elders, or dependent adults must
be reported to the authorities, cases involving competent adults do not
need to be reported unless the patient decides to do so.
Standard 6 of the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate
Services Standards would best be reflected by which of the following
scenarios? ......ANSWER......Standard 6 of the National Culturally and
Linguistically Appropriate Services Standards focuses on ensuring that
both written and verbal notices of language assistance services are
provided to patients in their preferred language. Standard 5 involves
ensuring that language assistance services are provided to patients at
no cost as needed. Standard 7 ensures the competency of translators
who provide language assistance services so that patients do not have
to rely on untrained individuals (e.g., underage relatives) for translation.
Standard 4 focuses on educating and training the health care workforce
and leadership in culturally and linguistically appropriate practices on a
routine basis.
Michael, a 32-year-old male, has been taking haloperidol to manage his
schizophrenia. He arrives at your clinic complaining of a sudden onset of
, 3|Page
"twitches" and "restlessness." Which of the following agents would be
best suited for the general management of Michael's condition?
Mirtazapine
Clonidine
Benztropine
Propranolol ......ANSWER......Benztropine is indicated for treatment of
acute extrapyramidal findings (e.g., dystonia, akathisia) resulting from
use of antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol). Propranolol, clonidine, and
mirtazapine are all agents that are used specifically for the management
of akathisia.
A patient who has entered treatment for alcohol use disorder begins to
undergo withdrawal. You administer the Clinical Institute Withdrawal
Assessment for Alcohol exam to measure their signs and symptoms. The
patient scores a 7. What treatment measures should you institute at
this time?
Clonidine
Lorazepam
Phenobarbital
Supportive treatment ......ANSWER......A score of < 8 (e.g., 7) on the
Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol (CIWA-Ar) would
indicate the need for supportive treatment and continued observation.
Medication is first recommended if the patient scores 8-14 on the
CIWA-Ar and should be administered immediately if they score ≥ 15.
Lorazepam is the recommended agent for managing seizures for alcohol
withdrawal, though phenobarbital may be used as an adjunct treatment
