This column is designed to help new nurses in their first year at the bedside-a time of insecurity, growth, and constant challenges-and to offer advice as they learn what it means to be a nurse. Because content on the care of patients who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD) is largely missing from undergraduate nursing curricula, most nurses will learn to care for TGD patients when first working at the bedside. This article offers guidance on providing affirming care to TGD patients, including discussions of gender and pronouns, privacy considerations, and communication and advocacy.
本专栏旨在帮助新护士度过他们在床边工作的第一年——这是一个充满不安全感、成长和不断挑战的时期——并在他们了解成为护士的意义时提供建议。由于本科护理课程中基本上没有关于跨性别和性别多样化（TGD）患者护理的内容，因此大多数护士在首次在床边工作时才开始学习照顾 TGD 患者。本文提供了为 TGD 患者提供肯定护理的指导，包括关于性别和代词、隐私考虑以及沟通和倡导的讨论。
