Briefly answer the following 5 questions

1. Do you consider gender and sexual identification a current vulnerability in our health care system?  Why or why not?

2. As a nurse you will be asked to care for individuals who encompass a wide range of lifestyles and sexual identities.  All of our patients deserve the best care we can provide and our deepest respect each and every time they interact with the health care centers tasked with serving them.  What did you learn in the readings/ viewings (be specific) that will positively impact or influence the way you approach a patient who may be LGBTQ?
