Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 4, 5, 6
An advantage of team nursing is the collaborative style that encourages each member of the team to help the other members. This model has a high level of autonomy for the team leader and is an example of decision making occurring at a clinical level. Team nursing can limit the actual time the RN spends with the clients; ancillary staff are not afforded autonomy regardless of the nurs-ing care model because their work must be supervised by the RN.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Good time management involves completing one task before starting another. If possible, com-plete the activities started with one client before moving on to the next. Care will then become less fragmented, and the nurse will be better able to focus on what is being done for each client. As a result, it is less likely that errors will be made. The remaining options are not reflective of poor management and so do not need follow-up.
