Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1; 3; 5
Rationale:
 Delegation and accountability: The RN team leader delegates frequently with team nursing, and with delegation comes an increased accountability for care given by someone else.
 Cost savings for staffing: Personnel costs are lower with team nursing, so this would be an advantage of team nursing.
 Continuity of care: Continuity of care can suffer when care is given by more than one person, so this is a disadvantage.
 Communication among staff: Communication among staff usually is improved with team nursing, as each member communicates with clients, families, and each other. This is an advantage of team nursing.
 RN time availability: The RN has less time available at the client's bedside, so this is a disadvantage of team nursing.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2; 3; 5
Rationale:
 Always has an open door policy: While nurse managers should be approachable and should listen attentively, it is not always feasible to have an open door policy.
 Communicates clearly: Nurse managers must communicate clearly, so this is a key characteristic.
 Stands up for the group: Effective nurse managers are advocates for their staff.
 Remains calm regardless of situation: While effective nurse mangers stay calm most of the time, it might not always be feasible to stay calm in every situation.
 Maintains honesty and fairness: This characteristic is important for nurse managers to be effective in their role.
