Practice Question
Nurses are caring for a patient experiencing an acute exacerbation of COPD Which action relates to the concept of Collaboration?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The nurse calls the respiratory therapist to meet and educate the patient how to administer breathing treatments at home.
Rationale:
🤝 Collaboration means engaging interprofessional team members (e.g., respiratory therapy, pharmacy, PT/OT, case management) to coordinate care toward a shared patient goal—here, safe and effective home nebulizer use.
🤝 Involving the respiratory therapist (RT) integrates their specialized expertise in inhalation devices, technique, cleaning, and troubleshooting—improving self-management and reducing readmissions after a COPD flare.
🤝 Options A, B, and D are important but reflect independent nursing tasks (vital signs, assessment, medication administration), not collaboration with another discipline.
🤝 True collaboration also supports consistent education, aligns discharge planning, and ensures the patient gets hands-on teaching and return demonstration from the RT.
