9:53 PMUnreadExplain why collaboration is important in managing a patient.Collaboration
in health care is the ability of every health care professional to embrace and adopt
complementary functions within a team effectively, operate cooperatively,
intercommunicate the responsibilities for problem-solving, and make the decisions
required to formulate and carry out plans for patient care (Busari et al., 2017). Based on
Busari (2017), the interprofessional collaboration between physicians and other health care
team members is important because it has increased the collective awareness of each
others’ knowledge and skills and contributes to the quality of care through the persisted
improvement in decision-making.What is your responsibility as an AGACNP in the
outpatient setting?Palliative care is a relatively new function for AGACNPs, either as part of
an inpatient team or outpatient. AGACNPs on palliative care services manage patients with
life-threatening illnesses; treat symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, or nausea; lead goals of
care dialogues; and coordinate complex care by collaborating with other associates of the
patient’s healthcare team (Elgart, 2019). How does it differ from an inpatient setting?Based
on Elgart (2019), the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties describes
AGACNPs’ role as providers who manage patients with unstable chronic, complex acute, and
critical conditions. This broad definition means that the AGACNP role is not confined to the
hospital; instead, it is defined by patient need. AGACNPs are qualified to diagnose and
manage patients with acute or critical issues or acute exacerbations of chronic health
disorders. Notably, they are qualified to obtain health histories, conduct physical
assessments, formulate differential diagnoses, order and interpret diagnostic studies,
determine management agendas, order pharmacology treatments and other therapeutic
interventions, collaborate and disseminate with other associates of the healthcare team, and
promote transitions across different levels of care.Discuss a situation in which you have
successfully collaborated or delegated to ensure the patient’s plan of care goes as planned.I
recall this incident during my clinical rotation last semester, and I was assigned to a patient
that came in with a chief complaint of abdominal distention, pain, and nausea. The patient
has ascites from chronic liver disease, and paracentesis was performed in the ED before
moving the patient to the medical unit. I completed a thorough history and PE on this
patient. One pertinent positive subjective finding I came across was that the patient had
“chest-pain type” of discomfort on inspiration when he coughs. I made my preceptor aware
of this assessment finding, and he asked me what I should order to investigate that. I

CXR report came back and revealed bilateral infiltrates, suggestive of Pneumonia.The
patient needs may be emotional, spiritual, or physical in nature. Include discussion of how
the Christian worldview perspective can be applied to meet these patient needs.Scholars
have described nursing as a caring discipline (Elk et al., 2022). Elk et al. (2022) also explain
that the WHO determined that a person’s health care needs include physical, mental, social,
and spiritual well-being. Investigations have found a strong positive relationship between
spirituality/religiosity and health and well-being. For many medically unwell or mental
health patients, spirituality/religiosity may furnish coping resources, enhance pain
management, improve surgical outcomes, fend against depression, and lessen the risk of
substance abuse and suicide. ReferencesBusari, J.O., Moll, F.M. & Duits, A.J. ( June 10, 2017).
