Feedback:
In primary nursing, the RN assumes 24-hour accountability for the client's care and has total responsibility for the nursing care of assigned clients during his or her shift. Team nursing is made up of an RN team leader, other RNs, LPN/LVNs, and nursing assistants who provide care to a group of clients. The case method is the same as a private duty nurse. In functional nursing, distinct duties are assigned to specific personnel.
