Trans and gender-diverse patients face significant barriers to respectful, comprehensive healthcare. Provider ignorance shouldn't be one of them. TRANSforming Nursing

Education supplies the context to help readers understand the gaps and missteps in providing healthcare to this marginalized population and explains how we can better

treat these patients.

Author Christine Rodriguez tackles tough subjects-and tough statistics-head on. This no-nonsense guide is packed with inclusive case studies, immersive simulation-based

scenarios, checklists, and ready-to-use templates on everything from social transitioning to hormone therapy to surgeries and potential complications, all with thoughtful, reflective

questions to guide readers in their understanding of the gender-diverse community. The book answers key questions, like:

What is the difference between sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation? How can we improve healthcare education and onboarding to better serve trans and gender-diverse patients? What is binary language, and how does it impact trans and gender-diversepeople? What barriers in healthcare settings marginalize trans and gender-diverse patients, and how can we be more inclusive and better meet their needs? What types of medical and surgical interventions are available for individuals who want to affirm their gender identity?
