4. Care management model
1
Explanation: 1. Typically, student nurses follow the total patient care model and provide all of the care for a patient while in the clinical area. This model may be altered slightly to accommodate the student's progress in the nursing program or the policies of the facility. For example, the nursing student may provide all care except giving IV meds.
2. Functional nursing is a task-oriented approach where staff members are assigned to provide a specific task, such as wound care.
3. In primary nursing, the RN assumes 24-hour responsibility for planning, directing, and evaluating the patient's care, from admission to discharge.
4. The care management model, which is similar to case management, focuses on the needs of the integrated delivery system.
