Rationale 1: Team nursing evolved in the middle to late 1940s.
Rationale 2: Functional nursing grew out of the nursing shortage caused by World War II.
Rationale 3: The original model of nursing care delivery was total patient care or the case method. During the 1920s, total patient care was the typical delivery system, with much RN care being provided in the home.
Rationale 4: Primary nursing was conceptualized and implemented during the late 1960s.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. Introduction of new technology that improves quality assurance would be readily accepted
after in-service education and perhaps a trial use. Power-coercive strategies are based on the
application of power by legitimate authority, economic sanctions, or political influence.
Lippitts Phases of Change is a seven-step process to change that involves participants in every
step of the process. Normative-reeducative strategies focus on peoples roles and relationships,
perceptual orientations, and attitudes in order to accept change.
