In team nursing the RN leads a team of other RNs,practical nurses,and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP).Team members provide direct patient care under supervision of the RN.The team leader develops patient care plans,coordinates care among team members,and provides care requiring complex nursing skills.Total patient care is a nurse delivering total care to one or two patients.Case management is one nurse managing care for a specific type of patient from admission to discharge to home.The case management nurse does not provide direct patient care.When one primary RN assumes responsibility for a caseload of patients with the help of associate nurses,primary nursing is being implemented.
