Answer to Question 1

B
In team nursing, licensed vocational nurses/licensed practical nurses and assistive personnel work under the direction of the registered nurse. Functional nursing is task focused, not patient focused. Decentralized management includes decision-making, which is moved down to the level of staff, involving all employees at all levels of activities.
