Concept explainers
To discuss:
How would the nurse practitioner motivate the physician and nurse colleagues to sufficiently value patient-centered care to learn more about palliative care and its benefits for the patient population?
Case summary:
The critical care nurse practitioner from the neuro-intensive care unit has specialized in palliative care. The nurse practitioner found that most of the staffs in the palliative care did not understand much of the palliative care. The staffs like physician and nurse have confused themselves that palliative care is giving up on the patient instead of rescuing the patient. In contrast to the failure of the staffs in the palliative care unit, the mortality rates are only 50%. The nurse practitioner also finds the medical director of this unit is not a fan of palliative care.
To discuss:
How the nurse practitioner will get the nursing colleagues to invest in learning to use standardized palliative care screening tool and when the hospital uses EHR to facilitate appropriate consults to palliative care?
