护士应该熟悉并有能力应对在照顾女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋，变性人或同性恋身份（LGBTQ）患者时出现的挑战。LGBTQ个体患某些身体疾病的几率增加，并且患有压力敏感性心理健康问题的风险更大。消极的社会态度，普遍的歧视和耻辱，身体和心理上的受害，以及随着年龄的增长而减少的社会支持，都导致了对这些人的护理的复杂性。开放的沟通，欢迎和接受的态度和环境，以及对独特的多维问题的敏感性，改善了对患有严重晚期疾病的LGBTQ患者的护理。护理可以接触到这一弱势群体，并对护理质量产生积极影响。
Nurses should be familiar with and equipped to address the challenges that arise when caring for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer-identified (LGBTQ) patients. LGBTQ individuals have increased rates of certain physical diseases and are at greater risk of suffering from stress sensitive mental health issues. Negative social attitudes, widespread discrimination and stigma, physical and psychological victimization, and less social support with aging contribute to the complexity of care for these individuals. Open communication, welcoming and accepting attitudes and environments, and sensitivity to unique multidimensional issues improve care to LGBTQ patients with serious advanced illness. Nursing can reach this vulnerable minority and positively impact the quality of care.
