◉ 2) The hospital's nurse case manager has been extensively
involved with a shooting victim and his family in coordinating care
of providers from many disciplines as the client progressed from the
Emergency Department (ED) to the intensive care unit (ICU) and
then onto the unit. After 3 weeks of hospitalization, the case
manager is helping to prepare him for discharge to a rehabilitation
center where he will continue treatment for his injury. Which
outcomes have been documented in the literature as benefits of such
collaboration?
Select all that apply.
A) Improved client outcomes
B) Reduction in duplication of healthcare services
C) Increased overall cost of health care services
D) Decreased client morbidity and mortality
E) Diminished sense of autonomy felt by nurses
F) Higher level of job satisfaction
Answer: Answer: A, B, D, F
Explanation:
,A) Research findings suggest that collaboration in health care among
clients, family members, caregivers, and communities leads to
improved client outcomes, a reduction in duplicated healthcare
services, and a decrease in client morbidity and mortality.
Collaborative efforts have also been found to decrease, rather than
increase, the overall cost of healthcare services, and to contribute to
an enhanced, rather than diminished, sense of autonomy. This
increase in sense of autonomy has been linked to nurses' greater job
satisfaction.
◉ 3) Which statement is a primary and historical barrier to effective
nurse-physician collaboration that has tended to persist over time?
A) The view among the general population that that nurses'
contributions to clients' care is less important to their health and
well-being compared to the contribution of physicians
B) The nurses' and physicians' perceptions of inequity in their roles,
with nurses assuming a subservient role and physicians assuming
leadership and superior role in healthcare settings
C) A general lack of education provided in schools for health
professionals about the benefits on healthcare quality linked to
nurse-physician collaboration
D) A lack of published evidence about the effectiveness of
collaborative efforts among and between nurses and physicians
E) The lack support at the federal level for efforts to improve health
care among the general population through increased nurse-
physician-client
Answer: Answer: B
, Explanation:
A) A primary and historical barrier to effective nurse-physician
collaboration has been nurses' and physicians' perceptions of
inequity in their roles, with nurses assuming a subservient role and
medical providers perceiving their role to be superior in the
provision of healthcare services. Evidence does not suggest that the
general population views nurses' contributions to the care of clients
as less important, thus this is not considered a primary barrier to
nurse-physician collaboration. Likewise, because health professional
students are in fact educated about the benefits of collaborative
practice and published evidence has documented the effectiveness
of collaboration in improving client outcomes, these are not barriers
to collaboration. In addition, the federal government, as evidenced in
particular by the Healthy People initiative, has promoted
collaborative efforts among clients, nurses, physicians, other
healthcare providers, and the larger community to improve the
health of the U.S. population.
