In this method a client has consistent contact with one nurse during a shift, but may have different nurses on other shifts. This is not the model described in the stem.
Rationale 2: Shared governance is an organizational model in which nursing staff are cooperative with administrative personnel in making, implementing, and evaluating client care policies. This is not the model described in the stem.
Rationale 3: The functional nursing method focuses on the jobs to be completed. It is a task-oriented approach in which personnel with less preparation than the professional nurse perform less complex care requirements. This is not the model described in the stem.
Rationale 4: Team nursing is the delivery of individualized nursing care to clients by a team led by a professional nurse.

This enables nurses to progress and assume roles and responsibilities appropriate for their level of experience, capability, and educationmuch like the differentiated practice system.
