What is the primary belief behind the evolution of the clinical microsystem as a nursing care delivery system?
1. Those who deliver the nursing care make the most educated decisions for a particular unit.
2. Clinical decisions are best made by the clients who are served by a particular unit.
3. Clinical decisions are best made by nursing leaders for all units within that particular hospital.
4. Nurses working in a particular service area are best suited to make decisions for the clients in that area.

Rationale 1: The clinical microsystem method allows those who are involved in the smallest unit of care to make the decisions for that unit.
Rationale 2: Clinical decisions should be made by professional health care providers, with client input.
Rationale 3: Decision making "from the top" is not reflected in the clinical microsystem structure.
Rationale 4: Clinical microsystems involve a core team of caregivers, not all the nurses working in a particular service area.
