The RN is working with hospital administrators to transform care at their facility. Which
nursing competency will be critical for the nurse to utilize?
-Do things the way they have always been done
-Work effectively in interdisciplinary teams
-Navigate the electronic medical records system
-Correctly utilize and troubleshoot high-tech equipment - correct answer--Work effectively in
interdisciplinary teams
Explanation:
The RN working with administrators to transform care will need to be able to work effectively
as part of an interdisciplinary team. The nurse will need to work as a team member with
members of the administration, as well as representatives from other health disciplines
involved in the project. The ability to use and troubleshoot equipment and to navigate the
electronic medical records are important to the nurse, but will not necessarily help when
working with administration to transform care. Doing things the way they have always been
done is a barrier to transformation of care.

explains each step as it is being performed. The nurse is acting in which role by providing
explanation of each step?
-Educator
-Caregiver
-Decision-maker
-Client advocate - correct answer--Educator
Explanation:
Under the overall umbrella of nursing process, the nurse in this situation is performing the
implementation of the care plan interventions. The nurse is acting in the role of educator by
explaining each step at a level, and to a degree that the client can process, ask questions if
necessary, and understand. The act of changing the dressing is an aspect of the caregiver
role. Once the nurse moves beyond the care plan interventions, it may become necessary to
make a decision or advocate for the client as a result of the assessment of wound and client
learning during the teaching of wound care occurring.
