Answer must be 300 word and asnwer with your own words

2) From an ethical perspective; how do the various ethical perspectives weigh into a provider’s decision regarding the patient’s case? How do ethical considerations impact and how are they impacted by interprofessional care?

Answer 1

Ans) Interprofessional collaboration occurs when 2 or more professions work together to achieve common goals and is often used as a means for solving a variety of problems and complex issues.

- Benefits include improved patient outcomes, fewer preventable errors, reduced healthcare costs, and improved relationships with other disciplines.

- While much has been written on ethics education for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams, we argue that it is important that both healthcare professions and healthcare teams are able to look outside their own disciplinary ethos and sometimes outside their formal teams when considering the ramifications of an ethical issue.

- A complex (fictional but based on the authors’ pooled experiences) case involving the delivery of a new-born from a mother with HIV is used to illustrate this, because multiple clinical teams will be involved at different times and in parallel with one another.
