Answer to Question 1

D
The unit most likely is following a functional nursing care delivery system. Functional nursing divides
the nursing work into functional roles that are then assigned to one of the team members. In this
model, each care provider has specific duties or tasks for which they are responsible.

Answer to Question 2

C
The calculation would be as follows:
2 weeks vacation each year = 10 days  8 hours/day = 80 hours
1 sick day per month = 12 days  8 hours/day = 96 hours
6 holidays per year = 6 days  8 hours/day = 48 hours
2 days per year to attend an educational conference = 2 days  8 hours/day = 16 hours
The total would be 80 hours + 96 hours + 48 hours + 16 hours = 240 hours.
