A 60-year-old patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted to the medical unit with exacerbation of symptoms, including increased shortness of breath and wheezing. The healthcare team consists of a primary care physician, a respiratory therapist, a nurse, and a dietitian. The nurse is responsible for coordinating the care plan, ensuring all team members are effectively communicating regarding the patient's needs. The nurse is assessing the situation and must determine the best collaborative approach to provide holistic care that addresses both the immediate respiratory concerns and the patient's nutritional needs.

Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize when collaborating with the interdisciplinary team?

Facilitate a meeting with all team members to establish daily goals for the patient.

Inform the healthcare team that the patient is on a low-sodium diet.
