The nurse demonstrates leadership in the care of older adults by initiating and coordinating collaboration with the wound care team to improve the health of an older adult.Screening and assessing are only indirectly related to collaboration.In this case,the nurse's collaborative efforts are unrelated to facilitating access to a program.Thus far,the nurse has not educated or trained this patient in wound care.
