Answer to Question 1

D
An issue with pathways is that some physicians perceive pathways to be template (cookbook)
medicine. Advantages of clinical pathways are that they are a tool for managing care, instructive for
new staff, and time savers. In addition, they improve care, shorten the length of stay, and allow for
data collection regarding variances to the pathway so care can be improved.

Answer to Question 2

A
An advantage of this model is the defined accountability and responsibility for the nurse to develop a
plan of care with the patient and family. Disadvantages of this model are its high cost, lack of
geographical boundaries, and the fact that nurses often perform interventions that could be completed
by other staff.
