Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Functional care is task-oriented and is an approach in which personnel with less preparation than the professional nurse perform less complex care tasks. Total patient care is one of the earliest models of nursing care and is when the nurse assumes total responsibility for the comprehensive care of a client or a group of clients. Team nursing is the delivery of individualized nursing care to clients by a nursing team led by a professional nurse. Case management is a collaborative process in which several disciplines are involved in meeting the individual's health needs, and this care is managed by one individual nurse.
