NR519 Module 5: Collaboration Café
Across healthcare settings, an increased incidence of complex disease and disability creates unique needs for care delivery. The advanced practice nurse plays a critical role in optimizing health outcomes for individuals with complex health concerns through holistic, interdisciplinary approaches to care. Through collaborative practice with interprofessional colleagues and community partners, strategies can be implemented to support the health and well-being of individuals with complex health concerns.
With learning from Module Five regarding the musculoskeletal system in mind, respond to the following:
- Describe a scenario including an individual with a disease, genetic disorder, or disability involving the musculoskeletal system.
- Discuss how the MSN-prepared nurse can collaborate with interprofessional colleagues to optimize health outcomes. Provide an example that applies to your scenario.
- Explain how competency in advanced physical assessment, pathophysiology and pharmacology contributes to interprofessional collaborative practice. Provide an example to illustrate the impact of advanced competency.
- Provide feedback to your peers for considerations related to age appropriate and culturally inclusive questions which would demonstrate an open mind and respect for differences.
SOLUTION
Patient Overview: A 9-year-old child, “Emma,” has been diagnosed with brittle bone disease, a genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones that break easily, often with little or no apparent cause.
