“A Nurse’s Guide to Caring for LGBTQ Patients” details some of the challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals face when searching for health care and healthcare information. It focuses on the disparities experienced by different groups and specific issues relating to each. We also discuss how to combat those disparities as well as education/training and additional resources. We hope that this guide will help nurses provide culturally competent care to the LGBTQ+ community. You can view it here.
