Feedback:
Functional nursing is a task-oriented method, and distinct duties are assigned to specific personnel. Total care refers to assignments in which a nurse assumes all the care for a small group of clients. In team nursing, teams made up of an RN team leader, other RNs, LPN/LVNs, and nursing assistants provide care to a group of clients. Primary nursing is when 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.
