A client recovering from MTG sexual reassignment surgery asks what can be done to change the sex and name on the client’s driver’s license. What should the population health nurse do to assist the client with this issue?

1. Nothing-birth gender cannot be legally changed.
2. Complete paperwork through the client’s automotive club.
3. Recommend waiting until the surgery is considered successful.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Transgender individuals may need assistance with legal issues surrounding gender identification such as legal name changes and change of gender on identification or the birth certificate. Birth gender can be legally changed. Name and gender changes should not be attempted through an automotive club. There is no reason for the client to wait after this type of surgery to have gender and name changed on a driver’s license.
