Continuity of care is a process by which health care providers give appropriate, uninterrupted care and facilitate a client's transition between different settings and levels of care. To do this, the nurse must, along with other responsibilities, collaborate with other members of the health care team in meeting all the needs of each client. The other answers are incorrect because they are not examples of the idea of the continuity of care.
