The home health nurse visits the client three times a week, assesses for health changes, sets up weekly medications for the client, and changes the client's leg dressing. Which type of nursing delivery model is this?
1. Team nursing
2. Case management
3. Total patient care
4. Functional care
Correct Answer: 3
Total patient care is one of the earliest models of nursing care in which the nurse assumes total responsibility for the comprehensive care of a client or a group of clients. Functional care is task-oriented and is an approach in which personnel with less preparation than the professional nurse perform less complex care tasks. Team nursing is the delivery of individualized nursing care to clients by a nursing team led by a professional nurse. Case management is a collaborative process in which several disciplines are involved in meeting the individual's health needs, and this care is managed by one individual nurse.
