Answer to Question 1

C
The best approach is: The vital signs were not taken. What happened? When you give feedback, make sure to focus on things that are changeable, choose only one issue at a time, and give specific details. Feedback given should be specific regarding any mistakes that staff members make, explaining how to avoid the mistake or a better way to handle the situation. Saying, How can I trust you? and You are a bad assistant. are both derogatory and they do not tell what specific task was not done. Where did you learn to take vital signs is not something that can be changed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Primary nursing is a model of care delivery in which a registered nurse assumes responsibility for a caseload of patients over time (e.g., a length of stay in a hospital or a series of home care visits). In team nursing, licensed vocational nurses/licensed practical nurses and assistive personnel work under the direction of the registered nurse. Interprofessional collaboration involves bringing representatives of the various disciplines together to work with patients and families to deliver quality care. Decentralized management includes decision making, which is moved down to the level of staff, involving all employees at all levels of activities.
