Nurse’s role in ascertaining care

Nurse’s role in ascertaining care

Think back to your most recent time in the clinical setting when another discipline (respiratory, physical therapy, nutrition, occupational therapy) was utilized.

Describe a form of interdisciplinary collaborative care you’ve seen on your current assigned clinical or work site. Then have a discussion about the following questions:

• Who coordinated that care?
• What was the nurse’s role in ascertaining that the care was provided?
• Was the patient’s outcome met?
• How or why not?
• What would you, a novice nurse-leader, have done differently to achieve the patient’s goals?
