Answer to #1

A
An advantage of the primary nursing model is that patients and their families develop trusting relationships with one primary nurse. There is an identified accountability and responsibility for the nurse in developing the plan of care. The approach to care in this type of nursing is holistic, which facilitates continuity of care. This type of care costs more because there is a higher skill mix, and nurses often perform functions that could be completed by other staff. Nurse-to-patient ratios must be realistic to ensure there is enough nursing time available to meet patient care needs.

Answer to #2

D

Answer to #3

B
In team nursing and modular nursing, the RN is able to get the work done through others, but patients sometimes receive fragmented, depersonalized care. Communication in these models is complex and problematic. There is shared responsibility and accountability which can cause confusion and lack of accountability. These factors may also contribute to RN dissatisfaction.

Answer to #4

B

Answer to #5

A
Functional nursing divides the nursing work into functional duties. These duties are then assigned to each of the team members. In this model, care can be delivered to a large number of patients. The system utilizes other types of less skilled workers. Patients are likely to have care delivered to them in one shift by several staff members. Some patients may feel that the care they receive is disjointed.

Answer to #6

B
Initiating nurse outcomes leads to comparisons for benchmarking best practice in the future and linking RN staffing perception to patient outcomes. Actual staffing compared to recommended staffing should be tracked. This will give a clue to other staffing issues. Medication errors is another measure that has been linked with NHPPD. When resources are scarce, data are imperative to drive needed change. The outcomes of ineffective staffing patterns and nursing care can be devastating to patients, staff, and the organization.
