A 75-year-old transgender woman is being admitted to a long-term care home. She expresses anxiety about facing discrimination from staff and other residents based on her gender identity. Which action should the nurse take first?

Reassure the resident that staff are professional and advise her to keep her transgender status private to avoid conflict. Document her preferred name and pronouns in the care plan, and discuss her preferences for room assignment and privacy. Assign her to a private room automatically to isolate her from the general resident population. Tell her that gender identity is not relevant to geriatric nursing care and dismiss her concerns as unnecessary worry.

Correct Answer:

Document her preferred name and pronouns in the care plan, and discuss her preferences for room assignment and privacy.
