Interdisciplinary teams

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello, I have searched all over the internet and gone through almost all of my kaplan questions but I can't find any help on how to approach interdisciplinary teams. On my first time taking the exam I had 15 to 20 questions about there are 4 pts which should the interdisciplinary team see or see first I'm not sure which it was. The issue is I'm not sure how to approach those questions or how to think to get the correct answer. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

When delegating, you have to look at the scope of practice (NCLEX world) for the LPN or NAP. If a patient requires assessment, teaching, or is unstable don't delegate to LPN. NAPs assist with direct patient care (ADLs). So, for an LPN, if the patient is newly admitted, recently returned from surgery, or is being discharged then they are eliminated as a choice, because they will all require either assessment or teaching.

Do not delegate what you can EAT

E- evaluate

A- assess

T- teach

Thanks for you input, I'm pretty good on my delegation with who can do what concerning rns, lpns, and NAPs but that doesn't help me so much with the interdisciplinary teams.

I know what you mean. I had same type of questions and I was just kind of lost. I wasn't sure what exactly that meant.
