The nurse is providing care to several patients within one smaller section of a larger unit. The nurse is near the patients' bedsides and has responsibility for all of the patients' care needs
This approach to patient care would be considered: 1. Modular nursing.
2. Functional nursing.
3. Primary nursing.
4. Case method.
Modular nursing.
Rationale: Modular nursing is a type of team nursing where the nurse is able to be closer to the patient's bedside because of structural design. Nurses have a wider range of responsibilities with this type of nursing. Functional nursing is the assignment of tasks and not individualized care. Primary nursing is the 24-hour responsibility for planning the care of one or more patients from admission to discharge. Case method is the oldest model of care where the nurse provides total care for the patient during the scheduled time on duty.
