Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obtaining education about the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender lifestyles would likely be the most effective way for the nurse to become more gay-affirming. This could include learning about different identities within the community, the challenges they face, and ways to provide culturally competent care. Ignoring misinformation, creating a support group with clergy, or supplying a list of psychiatrists may not necessarily address the nurse's lack of knowledge or understanding of the LGBT community.
