Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The client-focused care system brings the care to the client. Typically, services are moved closer to the client, and employees are cross-trained to tasks that do not necessarily belong in their domains. The functional system delivers care by assigning tasks to different levels of caregivers. The case method utilizes the RN to deliver total care for a group of clients during the assigned shift. The team approach assigns the care of a group of clients to a team headed by the RN.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Critical thinkers should review their own opinions and judgments about people to ensure that decisions made are for the good of the client and not bias on the part of the nurse. Arriving at clinical on time and professionally dressed is an expectation, and does not require critical thinking. There is not enough information about reviewing the tray to know if critical thinking was used.
