Free BCEN Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) Practice Question
Emergency nurses are mandated to use the new legal name and gender of a transgender patient as it appears on their identification, even if their transition is not legally recognized.
The correct answer is false. Emergency nurses are expected to respect a patient's affirmed gender and use their preferred name and pronouns, even if they have not been legally recognized. This practice is part of providing culturally competent care and ensures the dignity and respect of transgender patients. Using the legal name and gender without consideration for the patient's preferred identity could contribute to distress and is not reflective of best practices in gender equity.
