Medications
Identify and list a summary of relevant and significant medications. Indicate the trade name and
generic name, the medication classification, the therapeutic use, major adverse effects, timing,
dosage, route of administration, and the nursing implications. Also include the rationale(s) as to
why the medication is prescribed for treatment. For example, document the rationale for how the
treatment corrects the critically‐ill individual’s condition or a side effect of another drug that is
prescribed for treatment. *This information can be presented in a table.
Nursing Diagnoses
In order of priority, identify three (3) nursing diagnoses for the individualized plan of care for this
patient. Two of the nursing diagnoses must address actual problems, and one of the nursing
diagnoses must be a “Risk for” or “Potential Complication” (PC). For each nursing diagnosis,
include three (3) nursing outcomes, three (3) nursing interventions, and three (3) collaborative
interventions. *This section can be presented as a table or concept map.
Interventions ‐ ROUTINE NURSING MANAGEMENT
Describe independent nursing care you provided in the care of the critically‐ill individual.
Examples include, but are not limited to: activity level, position, ongoing monitoring, and
nutrition (prescribed diet, tube feedings/TPN, formula, rate, and calculation of basal energy
expenditure (BEE), patient education, wound care etc.). The rationale must be included for each
intervention.
Interdisciplinary (ID) Care
Collaborative Management
Identify the members of the interdisciplinary team caring for the critically‐ill individual. Provide
a brief description of their roles and responsibilities. Interdisciplinary team members include,
but are not limited to: physician, pharmacist, lab/diagnostic tests personnel, respiratory
therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work/case
management, pastoral care, ethicist, etc.
Therapeutic Modalities
Describe the various therapeutic modalities used in the management of care for the critically‐ill
individual. Discuss the extent of the nurse’s responsibilities and skills required to manage the
therapeutic modality in comparison to the responsibilities of the members of the
interdisciplinary team. Therapeutic modalities include but are not limited to: oxygen therapy
(mode, FiO2,), dialysis/CRRT (settings), ventilator therapy (mode of ventilation, settings, FiO2).
The rationale must be included for each modality.
Nursing Role Reflection
Provide a brief summary of how your role interacted with the members of the interdisciplinary
team. Include in your summary
- Analysis of communication style preferences among interdisciplinary team members and with
the critically‐ill individual and family members. What is the impact of your own
communication style on others? - System barriers and facilitators. Did the organizational framework for interdisciplinary
management of care facilitate or hindered the quality of care/outcomes for the critically‐ill
individual? What recommendations can you make to the organizational system for enhancing
