Answer to Question 1
A
The advantage of the prototype patient classification system is the reduction of work for the nurse,
who is not required to classify patients daily. Major disadvantages of the system are no ongoing
measure of the actual nursing work required by individual patients, no ongoing data to monitor the
accuracy of the preassigned nursing care requirements, and the system is much less common than the
factor system.
