Abstract:
Nurses have the opportunity to assist sexual minority youths in making healthy transitions to adulthood. Being aware of the challenges that sexual minority youths experience, nurses can be attentive to their specific needs and risk factors, and provide sensitive care. Nurses can draw on their interpersonal, nursing assessment, and advocacy skills to promote a positive health care experience for sexual minority youths.
