Answer to Question 1

C
Palpation of the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses indicates whether adequate blood flow is reaching peripheral tissues. Edema and changes in skin colour, texture, and temperature indi-cate whether the client requires special hygienic care. Persons with diabetes mellitus should also be checked for neuropathy, the degeneration of the peripheral nerves characterized by a loss of sensation. The nurse should assess the client's sensation to light touch, pinprick, and temperature.
Glaucoma is diagnosed by an eye examination (conducted by an optometrist) that measures in-traocular pressure.
Psoriasis is a skin condition.
Dermatitis is a skin condition.

Answer to Question 2

A
In team nursing, an RN leads a team that is composed of other RNs, RPNs or LPNs, and unregu-lated care providers (UCPs). The team members provide direct client care to groups of clients, under the direction of the RN team leader.
Primary nursing is a model of care delivery whereby an RN assumes responsibility for a caseload of clients over time. Typically the RN selects the clients for his or her caseload and cares for the same clients during their hospitalization or stay in the health care setting.
Functional nursing is task-focused, not client-focused. In this model, tasks are divided, with one nurse assuming responsibility for specific tasks.
Total patient care is a model of care in which an RN is responsible for all aspects of care for one or more clients. The RN may delegate aspects of care, but retains accountability for care of all assigned clients.
