Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II01:09

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II

Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations.

It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III01:16

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III

Nurse-to-nurse relationships are legally required to adhere to professional standards, ensuring a respectful and positive working environment. Professional conduct demands that nurses treat all colleagues respectfully and courteously, fostering a productive, supportive workplace. Nurses must actively eliminate bullying, discrimination, and harassment to maintain a safe and inclusive environment.
Cultivating a culture of collaboration and mutual respect among nurses transcends mere enhancement...

Summary

Canadian nursing leaders must protect the goal of baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses (RNs). Some organizations propose a future RN practice that could revert to diploma preparation, jeopardizing this standard.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Professional Standards

Background:

  • Canada established baccalaureate preparation as the standard for registered nurse (RN) practice 25 years ago.
  • This led to the phasing out of hospital nursing schools in favor of collaborative college programs.
  • The transition aimed to facilitate RNs' move into baccalaureate nursing programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To alert Canadian nurse leaders to a potential threat to the baccalaureate standard for RNs.
  • To examine proposals that may lead to a new healthcare professional and a return to diploma preparation.
  • To ensure the continued advancement of nursing education in Canada.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of proposed changes in RN practice.
