Question

One of the primary roles of a nurse is the role of advocate. Teenagers' needs are best met through emotional support and advocacy. The Christian worldview supports compassionate care as does the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics located in the topic Resources. Provision 1 states that "the nurse practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth and unique attributes of every person." As nurses, our calling is to support the needs and vulnerabilities of our patients, regardless of our own personal beliefs. Teenagers today who may be questioning their sexuality and gender identity are entitled to and deserving of our support. You are a nurse at a School-Based Health Center where a teenager disclosed that they are struggling with an LGBTQIA issue. Discuss how you would respond to this student. Explain what research has shown about the potential outcomes for teenagers who are not supported when in this difficult questioning period of "who they are." Explain how you, as a nurse can demonstrate compassion and support of this student. Provide two resources that you could you offer this student, either locally or online. Be specific with the contact information for your resources.
