A primary nurse caring for a patient with kidney failure develops a plan of care for the patient after consulting with the patient on the best way to manage the patient's diet.As the staff delivers the plan of care the primary nurse evaluates whether the plan is working.Which attribute is the primary nurse displaying?

A) Responsibility
B) Interprofessional collaboration
C) Delegation
D) Staff involvement

Responsibility refers to the duties and activities that an individual is employed to perform.For example,a primary nurse is responsible for completing a nursing assessment of all assigned patients and developing a plan of care that addresses each of the patient's nursing diagnoses.As the staff delivers the plan of care,the primary nurse is responsible for evaluating whether the plan is successful and what to do when it is not successful.Staff involvement is not the attribute the primary nurse is displaying.This is the nurse's responsibility.Delegation is the process of assigning part of one person's responsibility to another qualified person in a specific situation.The nurse developed the care plan and followed up,which is responsibility,not delegation.Interprofessional collaboration involves bringing representatives of the various disciplines together to work with patients and families to deliver quality care.This scenario did not use other health professionals; it involved just the nursing aspect.
