The nurse is preparing to provide patient care information to a group of unlicensed assistive personnel. Which type of care delivery system is this nurse most likely using to provide patient care?
1. Team nursing
2. Functional nursing
3. Primary nursing
4. Case management
Correct Answer: 1
Team nursing is practiced by teams of healthcare providers with various levels of education, including unlicensed assistive personnel. Team members work together and provide the care for which they are individually trained. Functional nursing is not a recognized term. In primary nursing, total nursing care is provided by the assigned nurse. The focus of case management is meeting the needs and care of a group of patients, with concurrent goals of maximized outcomes and cost containment.
