The role of the nurse is to integrate and apply knowledge from your general education background, health related sciences, and evidence-based nursing science in the application of the nursing process to the nursing care of patients in the acute care setting. The nurse uses knowledge from pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology, nutrition, psychology, and other sciences to build a plan of care according to the health assessment findings generated by the nurse. Nursing is practiced within an interdisciplinary health care system and it is important for the nurse to understand the perspectives of other disciplines in their contribution to the patient plan of care.
In this assignment, you will be able to select one patient that you have worked with in the clinical setting or an assigned virtual patient case, and complete an in-depth analysis of the nature of their health alterations, the pathophysiological and psychosocial aspects of their health needs and how the interdisciplinary team contributes to the treatment plan.
