Feedback:
Primary nursing ensures highly individualized care. It is the pattern in which the admitting nurse assumes responsibility for planning client care and evaluating the client's progress. Functional nursing does not provide individualized care; rather, it aims to finish the task. Case-method nursing addresses the health needs of a group of clients. In team nursing, a team of nurses is responsible for a group of clients.
