REFERENCE BTW 2011-2016
Interprofessional Collaborative Practice and Advanced
Practice Nurses
Interprofessional practice requires that health care
practitioners recognize that patient outcomes are better when there
is a collaborative team approach in addressing patient health
issues. Also there are barriers to interprofessional practice that
must be addressed among health care practitioners. The
Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) is an initiative
including multiple professions designed to advance
interprofessional education so that students entering health care
professions are able to view collaboration as the norm and seek
collaborative relationships with other providers (IPEC 2011).
This week your Discussion will focus on interprofessional
practice. This Discussion is an opportunity for you to examine your
perspective and experiences with interprofessional collaborative
practice and to apply your knowledge to managing patient care.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Identify a professional nursing organization and review their
position on interprofessional practice
Review the following case study:
Case Study:
Ms. Tuckerno has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The patient receives care at an internal medicine clinic. Her
internist is not in the office today and she is being treated by
the nurse practitioner. The patient is on two medications for her
MS three different blood pressure medications one medication for
thyroid disease one diabetic pill daily insulin injections twice a
day she uses medical cannabis and uses eye drops for glaucoma. Upon
assessing the patient the nurse practitioner (NP) decides her
treatment plan should be adjusted. The NP discontinues some of the
patients meds and discontinues medical cannabis. She orders the
patient to follow up in two weeks.
The patient returns and is seen by her internist. The
internist speaks with the patient and reviews her medical chart.
The internist states to the patient I am dissatisfied with the care
you received from the nurse practitioner. The internist places the
patient back on originally prescribed medications and medical
cannabis.
Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of your understanding
of interprofessional practice. Also explain the position on
interprofessional practice for a professional nursing organization
that you are a member of or of which you plan to become a member.
Then explain what you think is the best collaborative approach to
manage Ms. Tuckernos care.
