A psychiatric nurse wants to comply with the recommendation of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Future of Nursing report that nurses take part in expanded opportunities to lead and share in collaborative improvement efforts
What activity would accomplish this?
1. Taking a course on nursing diagnoses
2. Becoming a nurse-mentor
3. Leading an interdisciplinary team focused on improving patient outcomes
4. Volunteering for extra shifts
Answer: 3
Explanation: Taking a course does not focus on collaborative efforts. Although nurse-mentoring is a leadership activity, it does not necessarily contribute to collaboration. Leading an interdisciplinary team demonstrates both leadership and collaboration. Volunteering for extra shifts does not comply with the IOM recommendation.
