Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In a team nursing environment, an RN delegates patient care to a group of patients. Option A is incorrect because it is practiced in a functional model environment. Option B is incorrect because it is seen in primary nursing. Option D is incorrect because it may be seen in all types of health care delivery models.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary nursing allows the nurse to practice autonomously and make most bedside decisions. The other options are incorrect because they may not allow for the autonomy required for point-of-care decisions.
