A nurse is collecting data to determine the best practice for reducing pressure injuries in clients. Which of the following roles is the nurse taking?

A. Blood pressure is a measurable physiological parameter that can be accurately recorded by the nurse using a sphygmomanometer. It provides concrete evidence of the client’s current condition compared to their preoperative baseline.
B. The swelling and warmth of the calf are observable and measurable physical signs that the nurse can assess through physical examination. These findings can be documented and evaluated independently of the client's personal feelings or reports.
C. Nausea is a symptom experienced and reported by the client. It cannot be directly measured or observed by the nurse but rather is based on the client's personal sensations and experiences.
D. Pain is a personal experience and is reported by the client. The description of pain, including its intensity and quality, is based on the client's own perception and cannot be directly measured by the nurse.
E. Urine output is a quantifiable measurement that can be recorded and assessed by the nurse. It
provides concrete information about the client’s fluid balance and renal function over a specific period.

A. A researcher focuses on conducting studies, gathering data, and contributing to the evidence base in healthcare. While researchers play a crucial role in advancing knowledge and improving practices, this role does not primarily involve organizing or coordinating the efforts of interprofessional team members for client care.
B. A care coordinator is responsible for organizing and managing the various aspects of a client's care across different healthcare professionals and services. This role involves ensuring that all team members work together efficiently to address the client’s needs, managing transitions of care, and facilitating communication among team members. In this context, the nurse who is organizing interprofessional team members to meet the needs of a client is performing the role of a care coordinator.
C. A counselor provides support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to clients and their families. This role involves helping clients cope with emotional, psychological, or social issues. While important in client care, it is not primarily focused on organizing and coordinating the contributions of different professionals.
D. An educator is responsible for teaching clients, families, or healthcare staff about various aspects of health, illness, and care management. This role involves providing information and instruction but does not specifically include the task of organizing and coordinating the efforts of an interprofessional team.
