Transgender woman working with nursing home residents as an LNA that only want female staff caring for them.
Is it morally/legally right for a transgender woman LNA to provide intimate care to a female nursing home resident who specifically requests female caregivers only? The family and the resident did not know HE was transgender.
If a resident requests only female staff for bathing, toileting, or other personal care, and one of the caregivers is a transgender woman, is it appropriate to assign that caregiver? There were plenty of other female LNAs that could have switched residents to avoid this.
