Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
What is unique about case management is that clinicians, as individuals or as part of a collaborative group, oversee the management of patient groups with specific case types and usually are held accountable for some standard of cost management and quality. Case management is a care approach that coordinates and links health care services to patients and families while streamlining costs. In the team nursing care model, the RN assumes the role of group or team leader and leads a team made up of other RNs, licensed vocational nurses, and nurse assistants or technicians. Total patient care involves an RN being responsible for all aspects of care for one or more patients. Primary nursing places RNs at the bedside more, assuming responsibility for a caseload of patients over time. This model, however, does not require an all-RN staff as is required for total patient care.
