Trauma care is complex. Acute and critical care clinicians perceive trauma as a skilled response to critical injury or accident that occurs to patients, but trauma exists on many levels. One of those is a grim reality for patients who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and from other sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+). A lifetime of trauma through stigma, discrimination, and victimization is too often present. Owing to distrust of the health care system and clinicians, LGBTQ+ experience health and health care disparities.

Eating disorders are traditionally thought of as a problem specific to women, but evidence suggests the disorders also occur in men. Identifying the problem and referring patients for treatment can be difficult. Understanding the nuances of these disorders and realizing the incidence in men is important, as it is often overlooked as a differential diagnosis.

Coronary heart disease is underdiagnosed, undertreated, and under-researched in women, and the body of evidence points towards three explanations: sex-based physiology, provider bias, and psychosocial influences. This article examines each of these possible reasons for the gender differences in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Fortunately, as research evolves more is being learned about gender-specific aspects of care.

There are identified differences in the electrophysiology structure and measurements in women and men. An understanding of these differences and of the increased incidence and prevalence of dysrhythmias in women, the differences in presentation, and the differences in risk factors for these dysrhythmias will help guide treatment decisions. As new knowledge is gained through research, practitioners can provide gender-specific care to women who have or are at increased risk of cardiac dysrhythmia.

When gastric intubation is the chosen method of providing enteral nutrition, a variety of factors must be considered. To choose the proper tube, whether it resides in the gastric area or is postpyloric, it is important to consider the patient's level of consciousness, the duration of feeding, and the patient's overall status. Proper assessment, confirmation of tube placement, and nursing vigilance greatly reduce the likelihood of complications.
