West Coast University Sexual Discrimination Reflection

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Tomas a transgender patient, did not get the care he deserved due to his doctor’s prejudice toward his identity. Tomas was suffering from shortness of breath but the doctor just sends him home without doing anything. The nurse was concerned and after the assessment, the nurse discovers that he was showing signs of fat embolism. He reported to the charge nurse and she face the doctor and inform him about the symptoms. At the same time, Sara faced challenges with the same doctor challenging her leadership abilities as a woman. Have you, or someone you know, faced barriers similar to those? Share an example of prejudice you have experienced or witnessed without sharing the participants’ personal information. Describe what leadership strategies or qualities you have learned in this course that you feel could now better help you deal with the specific example you shared.
