Your response is a significant example of one of the advantages of using a clinical Nurse Leader during interdisciplinary rounds. According to Terra (2015) the purpose of interdisciplinary rounding is to improve provider communication and effectively impact quality metrics. Since collaboration is a fundamental aspect of a CNLs practice, the ability to be involved in skin preventative interventions (as you mentioned in your response) can help to influence the way nurses practice. As a result, the interventions that promote safe skin practices are identified and maintained.
