Answer to Question 1

A
Rationale: The direct patient care functions in a nursing care model are facilitated by and depend on the management of indirect functions (Fox et al., 1999). Staffing issues are management func-tions, whether they are delegated or not. The remaining answers are related to direct patient care.

Answer to Question 2

A
