Which of the following roles is the nurse demonstrating? 1. Coordinator
2. Expert
3. Team leader

1. Coordinator
Rationale:
The nurse is solving problems and planning care for the client by coordinating and collaborating with the other health team members who will participate in client care. All members of the team may be experts, but the level of expertise is not the role the nurse is exhibiting. The nurse is not responsible for how the members of the health team perform their jobs as a team leader would be. The nurse is not acting as an authoritarian in this case; the nurse is planning care and coordination.
