Promoting awareness of lgbt issues in aging in a baccalaureate nursing program

Lim, F., & Bernstein, I. (2012). (Vols. 33, Issues 3, pp. 170-175). 10.5480/1536-5026-33.3.170
Abstract
Abstract
It is estimated that up to 10 percent of the American population is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) and that up to 7 million members of this population are elderly. Both the Institute of Medicine and Healthy People 2020 have addressed the health disparities that affect elderly members of the LGBT community. Nurses are well positioned to bridge health disparities and provide culturally sensitive care across the lifespan, but compared with that of other disciplines, the nursing literature is lacking in content addressing LGBT health. Eliminating health disparities in the care of LGBT elders should be a priority in nursing education.The authors review the issues LGBT elders face and recommend how content related to LGBT aging can be integrated into nursing curricula.

Questioning : A teaching strategy to foster clinical thinking and reasoning

Abstract
Abstract
Using focused questions is one of the many ways to help students think about what they are doing. These questions can be asked during preconference, during the course of the clinical day, or on postconference. Benner et al5 warn that cynicism and excessive doubt are by-products of too much critical thinking. They suggest that faculty shift their approach from exclusive emphasis on critical thinking to an emphasis on clinical reasoning and multiple ways of thinking that include critical thinking.6 Clinical reasoning is a form of practical reasoning through transitions in patients' conditions or situations.5 Asking simple questions that require reflective thinking is one way to promote clinical reasoning.
