Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. The RN must be careful to delegate only tasks that are appropriate for the skill level and
licensure of the personnel doing the task. The RN is ultimately responsible for all of the client
care. Team nursing requires excellent communication skills for all team members in order to
communicate with clients, families, and each other. Continuity of care may suffer when care is
given by more than one person. Team nursing does save on costs for personnel and saves on
professional staff.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. The RN in this case is leading a team. A variety of skilled caregivers cares for a group of
clients. Total patient care is given by one nurse. Functional nursing breaks down the
assignments into tasks. Critical pathways are a set of strategies used by health care providers
to attain expected outcomes.
