AACN and NAM Competencies- Questions andAnswers
In a hospice residence, which team is an example of interprofessional team-based care?
Correct Ans-The pain management team consisting of the physician, nurse, and pharmacist.
The pain management team is a good example of an interprofessional team. This team includes
members from three different disciplines working together to manage the patient's pain.
In working with an interprofessional discharge planning team consisting of you (the nurse), the
attending physician, the case manager, the pharmacist, and the dietician, which situation would
signify an ethical concern? Correct Ans-The dietician recommends foods that are outside the
patient's religious beliefs.
Recommending foods that fall outside of the patient's religious beliefs demonstrates a lack of
valuing the patient's preferences and desires.
You overhear the pharmacist discussing the patient's financial status in the elevator.
Discussing patient information in a public venue such as an elevator is a violation of the
patient's privacy.
A care conference related to a patient who just recently experienced a severe stroke is taking
place. Included in this conference is a student nurse in her first clinical setting. In considering
the roles of the various team members, what is most important for this student to do?
Correct Ans-She should recognize her own limitations in knowledge and skill.
Being aware of one's own limitations is imperative to working with teams.
She should consider that there is more than clinical care to be learned from teams.
In addition to treatment modalities for this patient, the student can learn how to better interact
collaboratively with other health care professionals.
She should take advantage of this opportunity to learn much about the care of stroke patients
from this team environment.
, One of the benefits to team-based care is the ability to learn a variety of information from other
team members.
When discussing care after discharge with a patient, which statement reflects effective
communication regarding the plan of care? Correct Ans-"This medicine will drop your blood
pressure by helping you get rid of extra water."
This is a clear statement, communicating the way this medicine works in simple terms.
"We need to consider how you might help decrease your blood pressure. Can you tell me what
kinds of foods you like to eat?"
This is a great example of including the patient in the plan of care using simple questions to
gather information related to the patient's preferences.
A nurse is working with the wife of a patient who recently lost both feet to diabetes. Which
conversation best reflects the engagement of team members in addressing immediate patient-
centered problems when discussing the patient's discharge? Correct Ans-Talking with the
physical therapist and case manager about ways to facilitate the patient navigating the steps to
enter his home.
The most immediate need in this scenario is to assist the patient to gain access to his home.
Engaging physical therapy and case management is the best way to address this patient-
centered problem.
As the nurse participating in the discharge planning conference for a patient who has
experienced a stroke, you find that you do not agree with the discharge plan. What is the best
way to manage this discussion and verbalize your disagreement? Correct Ans-Ask other
team members to help you better understand the rationale for the plan of care.
This response demonstrates open-mindedness and a desire to understand the team's thought
process in developing the plan of care.
Which are true regarding interprofessional teams? Correct Ans-They improve the quality of
patient care.
Interprofessional collaborative learning facilitates the development of teams. Interprofessional
teams have been shown to improve the quality and efficiency of care.
