c. Unpaid congregational
d. Unpaid institutional
ANS: B
In the paid institutional model, the nurse is supported by a health care institution where nurses are paid either by the institution or shared salary with the congregation over time. In the paid congregational model, the development of a faith community nurse/health ministry program aris-es from the individual community of faith. The nurse is accountable to the faith community and its governing body. In the unpaid congregational model, the nurse is governed by the congrega-tion with no contractual support from any sponsoring health care institution. The nurse may ne-gotiate financial support for expenses. In the unpaid institutional model, the institution provides soft support in the form of continuing education and spiritual development; however, the nurse is not paid a salary and is governed by the congregation, who budgets for some expenses.
