Learning Outcomes

● Describe the nurse’s role as a collaborative member of the healthcare team.

Learning Resources

● Ignatavicius, D. (2021). pp. 6-7

● ATI Engage Fundamentals: (Review)

○ Foundational Concepts of Nursing Practice - Collaboration and Teamwork

● Evidence-Based Practice Articles as posted in Open LMS

Teamwork and Collaboration

● The nurse functions effectively within nursing and interprofessional teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision making to achieve quality patient care.

● Communication is an essential process for evaluating patient care together using an interprofessional plan of care.

● Interprofessional team includes the patient, family, primary health care providers, nurses, assistive personnel, and other health care professionals and their assistants

Teamwork and Collaboration

● When working with an interprofessional team it is important to demonstrate the following qualities for safe and effective patient care:

○ Asks other disciplines about patient progress in their area on a regular basis

○ When planning patient discharge home safety is coordinated among all team members

○ Participate in comprehensive patient rounding

○ Delegate tasks appropriately

○ Consult with other disciplines on patient care

Communication

● All interactions consist of both verbal and nonverbal communication

● 10% of communication is verbal whereas 70-90% is nonverbal

● Verbal communication is how we express our beliefs, values, perceptions, meanings, ideas, desires, feelings, and understanding. It is the primary means of expression.

● Nonverbal communication includes tone, pitch, inflection, and intensity of how we speak. It also includes posture, body movements, facial expressions, personal appearance, eye contact, eye cast, physical characteristics, how we listen, and how we use silence, touch and space.

Communication

● Therapeutic communication - establishment of a therapeutic relationship through the use of empathy, genuineness, positive regard, and self-awareness.

● Communication Facilitators - factors that enhance effective communication. By projecting warmth, acceptance, friendliness, openness, empathy, and respect in all interactions with the patient and family it fosters open communication.

● Active Listening - being attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal communication and helps the patient to feel as if they were heard, and establishes trust. Requires an open mind and full concentration to hear what the patient is saying and requires clarification and verification of messages.
