Week 4 - The Interdisciplinary Team

 Please begin this week by watching this power point presentation about the role of the interdisciplinary team in end-of-life care.   Continue to explore the interdisciplinary team by viewing this site and watching the video.  This site briefly discusses the services provided by each role on the team.  Feel free to explore this site, but please specifically look at 'who are the members of the hospice team?'.  While you are viewing this weeks resources, please pay attention to the different roles included in the interdisciplinary team. Do you agree that each role is necessary? Why or why not? Are there any roles missing? How does the combination of roles in the team provide holistic care to the patient and family?  What is the role of the RN in the interdisciplinary team?  Please also comment on how you would feel as the RN on the interdisciplinary team and how you see yourself working with the other members to care for the patient and family.
