Essay 3: Interprofessional practiceEssay 3: Interprofessional practiceThis week your
Discussion will focus on interprofessional practice. This Discussion is an opportunity for
you to examine your perspective and experiences with interprofessional collaborative
practice and to apply your knowledge to managing patient care. To prepare: Identify a
professional nursing organization and review their position on interprofessional
practice Review the following case study: Case Study: Ms. Tuckerno has been diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient receives care at an internal medicine clinic. Her
internist is not in the office today and she is being treated by the nurse practitioner. The
patient is on two medications for her MS, three different blood pressure medications, one
medication for thyroid disease, one diabetic pill daily, insulin injections twice a day, she
uses medical cannabis, and uses eye drops for glaucoma. Upon assessing the patient, the
nurse practitioner (NP) decides her treatment plan should be adjusted. The NP discontinues
some of the patient’s meds and discontinues medical cannabis. She orders the patient to
follow up in two weeks. The patient returns and is seen by her internist. The internist
speaks with the patient and reviews her medical chart. The internist states to the patient, “I
am dissatisfied with the care you received from the nurse practitioner.” The internist places
the patient back on originally prescribed medications and medical cannabis. Post 2 pages
on : An explanation of your understanding of interprofessional practice. Also, explain the
position on interprofessional practice for a professional nursing organization that you are a
member of or of which you plan to become a member. Then, explain what you think is the
best collaborative approach to manage Ms. Tuckerno’s care. References Required

FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
