The tasks that will undertake and those that I will delegate in order of priority
I will undertake the task of looking after the elderly female post-operative patient who
collapsed to the floor and was unconscious. This is a critical condition that should not be
assumed since she might end up over bleeding. Accordingly, I will delegate Mrs. Chew, whose
intravenous infusion has tissued to the enrolled nurse. I will further delegate Mr. Smith’s visitor
who fainted to the AIN and the ward clerk to sort out the blocked and overflowing toilet.
I will ask the surgical consultant to assist in administering drugs to Mr. Esposito, who is
anticipated for cardiac catheterization before discussing the medical error that happened in the
previous week (Tak, Marciniak, Savage & Ozawa, 2019). After taking care of the elderly patient
and ensuring that she is stable, I would then confirm the enrolled nurse’s progress concerning
Mrs. Chew‘s situation. Next, I would proceed to the AIN and enquire if she managed to stabilize
Mr. Smith's visitor who had fainted. I will then intervene if any of the clinical nurses need
assistance. Lastly, I would visit the surgical consultant and deliberate his medication error which
she wanted to bring to my attention (Crisp, Douglas, Rebeiro & Waters, 2017).
My documented rationales in detail
I decided to start with the elderly female post-operative patient since Unconsciousness is
a medical emergency. Since she was a post-operative patient, some factors may have triggered
her loss of conscious (AL-Dossary, 2017). For example, in one of the arteries supplying blood to
the brain might have developed a clot resulting in low oxygen tension in the brain changing its
activity. Furthermore, probably, the analgesics given to the patient could not be effective
subjecting the patient to intense pain (Aitken, Chaboyer & Marshall, 2019). Since consciousness
is the most sensitive indicator of the brain's performance, its level should be assessed during

physical examination. According to necessary life support, the patient's breathing, circulation,
and airway need to be examined. When the patient has regained her normal consciousness by
being fully aware of herself and the environment, I can now be satisfied (Virtual Simulated
Patient Resource, 2013).
Mrs. Chew’s condition also needed urgent attention because the running behind of her IV
fluids can deny essential organs like liver, heart, and brain sufficient blood and incline the patient
to other complications. Thereupon, I believe that the enrolled nurse would be the appropriate
professional to address the situation. Since the enrolled nurse was taking her cannulation
certificate, I chose her because I believed she was probable to have some critical knowledge on
how to sort out the tissued IV. Also, the enrolled nurse can interpret the patient's details from
distinct sources and contribute to the planning of their handy care (Weller, 2012).
Fainting of Mr. Smith's visitor is also a medical emergency which requires urgent
attention to prevent avoidable complications like cell necrosis in the brain. I prioritized this task
and delegated it to AIN nurse because fainting leads to a decline in the blood pressure and heart
rate hence reducing the flow of blood to the brain. I chose the AIN since they are trained to
provide general patient care, including emergency cases like fainting (Street, Eustace,
Livingston, Craike, Kent & Patterson, 2011).
Lastly, a medical error discussion and the overflowing of the toilet were not quite urgent
at that time. As an illustration, the medication mistake which ensued in the past week does not
need to be prioritized, although it was good that the consultant brought it to my attention
(Snelling, Havard, & Pontin, 2016).

The factors that determine which healthcare professionals are required to be involved in a
health care team
To start with, clinical competency of the professional is a factor that needs to be
considered. The patient has a neuron disease and therefore is necessary to include
physiotherapists and neurologists. Another factor is clinical experience since experienced clinical
practitioners can easily understand the condition of a patient and then come out with a detailed
plan of care. In case there occur medication errors, these practitioners use their experience to
mitigate them amicably (Krautscheid, 2014).
Collaboration is another important factor. Healthcare professionals should be
collaborative to attain good patient results. Furthermore, excellent communication improves
enables the professionals to organize meetings as well as other communication channels to
discuss the patient's outcomes and share information to enhance their performance. Lastly, to be
involved in a health care team, a professional should be able to work under pressure because
clinical care has become more complicated forcing the clinical team to provide complicated
health services and learn new techniques quickly (Kalishman, Stoddard & O’Sullivan, 2012).
Who should lead the health care team?
The role of the leader is to encourage, guide, and recognize active involvement by all
team members to achieve the highest degree of team achievement while devising a positive work
environment. The MND clinic nurse has to lead the clinical group, and his duty would be to
deliver ongoing specialist care as well as advice to the patient with motor neuron disease and the
patient's loved ones. The MND nurse would spend most of his time with the patient and be
expected to initiate prompt and compelling responses when the patient needs change.
