Which is an advantage, from the perspective of a faith community nurse, of working in an unpaid congregation-based model?
A) Is recognized as a member of the ministry team
B) Can limit how much time he or she offers to the congregation
C) Receives much assistance from other nurses
D) Can serve as an ambassador and referral agent to a health system
Ans: B
Feedback:
One advantage is that the faith community nurse can limit how much time he or she offers and can maintain other employment. In a paid, institution-based model, a faith community nurse is employed by a health system, hospital, or community agency. The benefit to the agency is that the faith-based nurse can serve as an ambassador and referral agent for the institution. Both paid and unpaid congregation-based models share a disadvantage. The nurse usually operates independently, with little assistance from other nurses, and there is little support for developing new approaches to care. One disadvantage to having an unpaid faith community nurse is that this person may not be recognized as a member of the ministry team and will probably have fewer hours to offer in service.
