...Collaboration between APNS, other Healthcare Professionals, and Agencies Student’s Name Institution Collaboration between APNS, other Healthcare Professionals, and Agencies Cooperation, mutual working relationship and understanding between APNs (advanced practice nurses) other healthcare professionals and agencies is critical for the improvement of health (Edwards, 2009). Such collaborative working relationship promotes research, enhances patient education, increases general public awareness and promotes correct diagnoses and treatment. In this paper. Therefore, my interest is in this collaboration (Fairman et. al, 2011). I seek to find out the ways advanced practice nurses and other groups can collaborate to improve health status and service delivery. Health agencies and organizations include researchers, medical unions, patient advocacy organizations and other associations within the health industry (Freshwater, 2002). APNs are health professionals who emphasize self-care and wellness, manage their workload, and provide diagnosis and treatment of health disorders (Johns, 2000). APNs always focus on the impact of diseases and medications on the patient and the society as a whole. APNs are registered nurses with advanced credentials; they are also certified by the relevant certification bodies (Hoyt, Proehl & Jean, 2012). The common places where APNs work include schools, clinics, health centers, physician offices, hospices, and nursing homes. APNs also...

...country, the number of patients receiving dialysis since 2000 has risen by 7% (Ansell et al 2005) with it projected to rise by a further 10 percent over the next 5 years (Ansell et al 2005). About 15-29 percent of deaths of patients with end stage renal disease results from a decision to discontinue dialysis (Davison 2006). Importantly we need to explore which patients especially those reaching the end of their lives are choosing to discontinue receiving aggressive renal replacement therapy and what knowledge and skills would be required to facilitate a change in practice and help them towards a ‘peaceful death’. End Stage Renal Disease presents many challenges to the patient who experience and suffer from it and the health care professionals who care for them. Its chronicity and...
