(PRESENTATION BY ...............................................)

Introduction
 Inter-professional collaborative
practice is an effective approach in
healthcare process that helps
nursing professionals to take active
participation in every discipline of
patient care (Körner et al., 2016).
 In this presentation I would be
discussing about my experience of
inter-professional collaborative
practice that happened during third
year placement.
 In this situation, my collaboration
with dietician and the occupational
therapist would be discussed in this
paper.

Roles of dietician and
occupational therapist
 In the cardiac unit. I was assigned with patient X (57) who was
suffering from the risk of myocardial infarction and was suffering
from high blood pressure. Patient also complained about pain in
his right thighs.
 Role of dietician
 The role of dietician in this condition was to eliminate sodium
from the diet of the patient so that the elevated blood pressure
could be controlled.
 Their contribution in this inter-professional practice was crucial as
to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, it was important to
reduce the high blood pressure.
