A nurse has been practicing in a functional nursing care delivery system. Which of the following is the nurse most likely going to demonstrate?
1. Boredom
2. Joy
3. Success
4. Satisfaction
Boredom
Rationale: In a functional nursing care delivery system, nurses report a lack of satisfaction with their work because tasks are boring or because there is difficulty identifying the effect of their work on their patients. Functional nursing resembles assembly-line tasking and the fragmentation of tasks results in a perceived lack of accountability and increased frustration. Nurses in a functional nursing care delivery system are not characterized by feelings of satisfaction.
