A nurse is preparing a discharge plan for a client using the IDEAL toolkit. Which of the following does the toolkit identify as one of the five key areas that nurse should discuss with the client?

A. Decision-making is a crucial aspect of clinical practice and interprofessional collaboration, as it involves making choices based on evidence and team input. However, it is not specifically listed as one of the core competencies of the IPEC. While decision-making is a key part of collaborative work, IPEC competencies focus more broadly on collaboration, communication, and shared values.
B. Autonomy refers to the ability of an individual to make independent decisions and act according to their professional judgment. While autonomy is important in healthcare practice, especially for individual professionals, it is not one of the core competencies identified by IPEC. IPEC emphasizes interprofessional collaboration rather than individual autonomy.
C. Shared governance is a concept related to organizational management and decision-making within healthcare institutions. It involves a collaborative approach to decision-making and policy development, allowing staff to have a voice in organizational matters. While shared governance is valuable for promoting collaboration, it is not one of the core competencies outlined by IPEC.
D. Values and ethics are indeed core competencies of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC). This competency emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the values and ethics of different professions, and integrating these into collaborative practice.

A. This is subjective data. The description of pain as "dull" and "aching" is based on the client's personal experience and cannot be measured directly by the nurse. Pain is a subjective symptom because it varies from person to person and is reported by the patient.
B. This is subjective data. Nausea is a feeling or sensation reported by the client and is based on their personal experience. The nurse relies on the client's report to assess this symptom, as it cannot be directly observed or measured.
C. This is objective data. The temperature reading is a measurable, quantifiable fact that can be directly observed and recorded by the nurse using a thermometer. It provides concrete evidence of the client's condition.
D. This is subjective data. Itchiness is a sensation reported by the client and is based on their personal experience. The nurse cannot measure itchiness directly; they rely on the client’s description to understand the symptom.
E. This is objective data. The presence of a vesicular rash is an observable finding that the nurse can see and document. It is a physical characteristic that can be directly assessed and recorded.
