Problem:
Apply your understanding of the role of a nurse on a collaborative team by engaging with the following scenario and answering the questions at the bottom of the scenario description. Scenario: Imagine you are a nurse on an interprofessional team in a complex continuing care facility. Flu season is coming, and so is a hand hygiene audit. (A hand hygiene audit is a standardized process conducted regularly in all healthcare facilities where staff and others who are routinely in the facility such as volunteers, non-healthcare employees, and visitors are monitored (by either electronic monitoring or a trained observer) to determine how well they are cleaning their hands. The process follows a standardized national protocol and audit results are shared to inform quality improvement. Individual staff are not named in the audits, simply observed.) The team on your unit needs to be prepared and have called a staff meeting to discuss plans to meet the challenge of a potential flu outbreak. The unit manager opens the meeting by reminding everyone that ensuring the use of safe, effective and ethical infection prevention and control measures are responsibilities of all team members.
