Answer to Question 1

A, C, E, F
Some of the advantages of using a Total Patient Care delivery model include consistency of one
individual caring for patients for an entire shift; patient, nurse, and family are able to develop a
relationship based on trust; nurse has more opportunity to observe and monitor progress of the patient;
the fact that this model works well in a specialized unit such as hospice. Total Patient Care is very
costly because it requires a higher number of RNs to provide patient care.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, F
The disadvantages of functional nursing include patients feeling disjointed; patients becoming the sum
of the tasks rather than an integrated whole; and technical, rather than professional, nursing care
resulting. The advantages of functional nursing are that care can be delivered to a large number of
patients, and other types of health care workers are used when there is a shortage of RNs. LPNs should
never be forced to work outside their scope of practice no mater which care delivery system is used.
