Health History Skills for Interprofessional Learners in Transgender and Nonbinary Populations.

Introduction: Transgender and nonbinary peoplehave been identified as vulnerable and clinically underserved and experience health disparities. Lack of health care provider knowledge about transgender and gender diverse populations is a barrier to care, impacting health outcomes. The aim of this project was to develop, implement, and evaluate a simulation learning activity for midwifery and women's health nurse practitioner students and obstetrics and gynecology residents to interact with transgender and nonbinary individuals, with the goal of enhancing health history taking comfort and skills.

Nursing: the skill and art of being in a society of multitasking.

Multitasking, a media-driven bias toward dramatic scenarios, and an emphasis on meeting institutional goals in the form of documentation have led to a culture of action-based practice, which interferes with nurses' ability to simply be with patients. In order for nurses to be fully present with their patients, the cultural norm of multitasking and the emphasis on doing must be reexamined within the context of patient care.
