Week 8 discussion
LGBT Health Care
This discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing
relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered. For
this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion
Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course textbook readings and
the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources
in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your
classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your
classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a
question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view
with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a
relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite
resources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation
for this assignment by the end of the week.
For this assignment, you will review and reflect on the LGBT
article. This article can be applied to healthcare providers in the multiple
care settings. Discussion of the article
is based on the course objectives and weekly content, which emphasize the core
learning objectives for an evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout
your nurse practitioner program, discussions are used to promote the
development of clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing assessments and
diagnostic skills, and to develop patient care plans that are grounded in the
latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.
Discuss any “take-away” thoughts from the article.
How do you plan to make a positive impact on the care of
LGBT patients when you become a NP? What
attitudes/behaviors/communication/understanding is important for the NP to
have?
What specific screenings / interventions will you
incorporate into practice when providing care to a LGBT patient?
