“Act as an experienced charge nurse who is skilled at interdepartmental communication. I need to write a professional request to [name the department, e.g., pharmacy, social work, lab, radiology, etc.] asking for help with a patient situation. Here is the context: [briefly describe the patient need, e.g., 'patient discharge delayed due to missing home medication reconciliation,' or 'patient requires urgent social work consult for safe discharge planning,' or 'stat lab draw needed for change in patient condition'].
