Introduction
Whenever you have medical needs, you can rely on the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to be there to meet them. Occupational therapists, Physical therapists, nutritionists, nurses, medical doctors, social workers, recreation therapists, dietitians, and a manager all make up the Interdisciplinary Team (Procter & DeNora, 2022). We want our members to have optimal health and continue to thrive in their environments for as long as feasible. All professionals working on a patient’s case meet regularly to discuss what services they can provide.
Discussion
As an example of effective multidisciplinary teamwork, I might use my most recent position and scope leadership clinical. The institution provided occupational therapy for the family of one of the pupils I was supervising. Beneficial patient outcomes can be attributed to the close partnership between occupational therapy and nursing in the United States. I saw an essay that aimed to dissect how the two fields overcame their differences to give superior treatment to patients. The patient’s doctor recommended occupational therapy that will resolve the patient’s ailment. The occupational therapist’s goal was to have the patient try to carry out as many of the patient’s ADLs independently as possible before bringing in outside assistance.
Conclusion
Putting on his clothes is only one instance of this. The nurse’s job was to ensure the patient did the activity to the best of his abilities, and she was expected to assist the patient as necessary (Procter & DeNora, 2022). Unfortunately, I only got to spend one day with this guy, but I saw that he could successfully put on his shirt but needed assistance with his pants. The patient is making good progress toward his objective. In this case, if I could do anything differently, it would be to offer the patient more opportunities to succeed. The student nurse I supervised stepped in to aid the patient at the clinical location even before he asked for it. I would have let the patient try to finish the work independently and only stepped in when they asked for assistance.
