Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Team nursing is practiced by teams of healthcare providers with various levels of education, including unlicensed assistive personnel. Team members work together and provide the care for which they are individually trained. Functional nursing is not a recognized term. In primary nursing, total nursing care is provided by the assigned nurse. The focus of case management is meeting the needs and care of a group of patients, with concurrent goals of maximized outcomes and cost containment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The nurse will function as an educator when preparing a patient for discharge. To do this adequately, the nurse will need to have some level of familiarity with adult learning principles to provide effective patient education and evaluate the outcome. Following written orders and using critical thinking would be considered basic caregiver skills. The ability to support patient decision making relates to the role of patient advocate.
