Abstract

THE HEALTH OF ALL PATIENTS remains the central aim of nursing care. Perianesthesia nurses hold a unique space with patients when they are most vulnerable. Hence, by honoring the long-standing tradition of caring for individuals, regardless of their respective identities, nursing can lead the way in promoting the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning persons. Although growing, research on evidence-based practice for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning population is limited. Authored by a pediatric psychiatrist, the following article presents the “state of the knowledge” in addressing health issues faced by nonconforming youth. Mary W. Stewart, PhD, RN, School of Nursing, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS
