What Role Do Nurses Play in Interprofessional Rounds?
Nurses play a pivotal role in interprofessional rounds:
Patient Advocates: Nurses act as advocates, ensuring that the patient’s needs and preferences are central to the care plan. Information Providers: They provide critical information about the patient’s condition, progress, and any changes observed. Care Coordinators: Nurses help coordinate care by communicating the agreed-upon plan to other healthcare providers and the patient. Educators: They educate patients and families about the care plan, ensuring they understand and agree with the proposed interventions.
