title: Professional recognition and high-quality patient care through collaboration: two sides of the same coin.
abstract: Today's health care professionals frequently confront problems that lack a single right answer. Differing answers often result in interprofessional conflict. For example, nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapists may have different goals and responses in a cardiac arrest situation. Strategies to enhance nursing's unique contribution to these decisions and to facilitate collaboration among all the professionals are presented.
