Answer to Question 1

B
In total patient care, the nurse is responsible for the total care for the patient assignment during the
shift worked. In the case method, the nurse has one patient that is cared for exclusively. Functional
nursing divides the nursing work into functional units that are then assigned to one of the team
members. In team nursing, staff is assigned to teams who then are responsible for a group of patients.

Answer to Question 2

D
Self-scheduling guidelines should include scheduling period, schedule timeline, staffing pattern,
weekends, holidays, vacation time, unit vacation practices, requests for time off, short-staffed shifts,
on call, cancellation guidelines, sick calls, military leave, schedule changes, shifts defined, committee
time, seniority, and staffing plan for emergency situations. There is a relationship between patient
outcomes and nurse staffing and between nurse staffing and nurse outcome. Evaluating the outcomes
of scheduling on patients, staff, and the organization is a critical activity that should be done daily,
monthly, and annually.
