2 Objectives Identify College documents and resources that are relevant when you are working with physician assistants Apply the relevant College documents to your practice when working with physician assistants
3
4 Understanding Accountabilities Organizational Supports Nurse s Competence Client CNO Expectations Legislation (such as PHA)
5 Authorizing Mechanisms Initiation Orders Delegation
6 When Is An Order Needed? Is the procedure a controlled act? Is an order required by organizational policy or setting-specific legislation?
7 Orders Direct orders: are client-specific can be written or verbal Directives: apply to more than one client when certain conditions exist are always written Both are orders
8 Co-Implementing a Directive Directive + Nurse = Nurse is implementing Directive + PA + Nurse = Nurse is co-implementing The nurse s accountability does not change
9 Delegation Delegation is when a health care professional transfers the authority to perform a controlled act to another person The person delegating the controlled act is called the delegator. The person receiving the delegation is called the delegatee
10 When Working With PAs Can a nurse accept an order from a PA? Can a nurse accept delegation from a PA? Can a nurse delegate to a PA?
11 Windsor Regional Hospital Accountability & Collaboration.Working With Physician Assistants
12 Objectives Review the process our hospital followed when implementing our policy on physician assistants
13 The Process We engaged a multidisciplinary team including senior leaders, physicians and nursing Our legal team assisted in ensuring all pertinent legislation reviewed and included Working with our ONA partners we developed an education and roll out plan for nursing
14 Hospital Specific PA Policy At our hospital: PA s can either be employees of the hospital or office based They work under the direction, supervision and delegated authority of a physician They are not authorized to perform Controlled Acts or operate independently unless under approved medical directives The supervising physician extends their privileges at WRH in order have a PA PA s are physician extenders and are NOT independent practitioners
15 Education We engaged the CNO Event included: An overview of the CNO standards A history and an explanation of the PA role A comparison of the role to the NP role since we had NPs in various departments that the PAs were or would be working An overview of the new policy
16 Questions From The Nurses Can a PA give orders to others to follow? What is a Co-implementer? What if I have a question or concern?
17 Application of Knowledge We reviewed a number of scenarios to allow nurses to apply the information from College document to practice scenarios
18 Scenario 1 A 55 year old female presents to the ED with abdominal discomfort. Following triage by the RN and admission to the department the PA assesses the patient and implements the Chest Pain Medical Directive. Which includes the following: Perform a 15 lead ECG Apply oxygen at 2L by NP and cardiac monitor Start IV Therapy with 0.9% Sodium Chloride tkvo Draw Cardiac Lab studies Administer ASA 160 mg PO and instruct the patient to chew and swallow Administer 1 dose of Nitroglycerin Spray (0.4mg/spray) sublingual and repeat as needed every 5 minutes to a maximum of 3 doses What steps should the Nurse follow to determine if they can implement the orders?
19 Scenario 1 Discussion Assess patient. The Nurse finds the patient c/o sternal chest pain, 8/10, radiating to left arm, patient is diaphoretic, hypotensive, tachycardia and extremely anxious Nurse establishes agreement with decision of the PA to implement the chest pain medical directive. Reviews medical directive - patient meets indications/criteria, no contraindications identified - Nurse may implement order
20 Scenario 2 A 55 year old female presents to the ED with abdominal discomfort. Following triage by the RN and admission to the department the PA assesses the patient and implements the Chest Pain Medical Directive which includes the following: Perform a 15 lead ECG Apply oxygen at 2L by NP and cardiac monitor Start IV Therapy with 0.9% Sodium Chloride tkvo Draw Cardiac Lab studies Administer ASA 160 mg PO and instruct the patient to chew and swallow Administer 1 dose of Nitroglycerin Spray (0.4mg/spray) sublingual and repeat as needed every 5 minutes to a maximum of 3 doses What steps should the Nurse follow to determine if they can implement the orders?
21 Assess patient. Scenario 2 Discussion The Nurse finds the patient c/o nausea and epigastric discomfort, on abdominal exam patient appears distended, on percussion the abdomen is tympanic and the patient states has had no bowel movement for 5 days, bowel sounds are hypoactive. Vital signs are stable, no SOB, no distress, skin warm and dry. Patient denies history of hypertension or other cardiac risk factors. Nurse disagrees with decision of the PA to implement the chest pain medical directive. Reviews medical directivepatient does not meet criteria. Nurse does not implement the directive and communicates with the PA regarding findings.
22 Scenario 3 PA assesses a 35 year old patient admitted with UTI. She writes an order for a urine culture that was received by telephone from the physician. There is no medical directive for urine culture. Can the nurse implement the order?
23 Scenario 3 Discussion The authority for the procedure is provided by the verbal order from the physician.
24 Scenario 4 On the same patient the PA also orders IV insertion and administration of normal saline at 100 ml/hr and IV antibiotics. They did not obtain the order from the physician and there is no medical directive. Can the nurse implement the order?
25 Scenario 4 Discussion Controlled act requires authorizing mechanism Public Hospitals Act requires an order for all treatments
26 Key Success Strategies Engage your staff Use common clinical situations to generate questions and discussion Apply the CNO standards to your practice areas
