As the RN team leader, identify potential disadvantages of using team nursing to deliver care to assigned clients.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A potential disadvantage of using team nursing is that continuity of care may suffer as different team members may have different approaches and styles of care. Client/staff communication may also be a challenge as there may be a lack of clarity around roles and responsibilities. Delegation is necessary in team nursing, which can also lead to potential issues around accountability and quality of care. However, it should be noted that choice E, "not as many professional staff are required", is not a disadvantage, but rather a potential advantage of team nursing as it may increase efficiency and lower staffing costs. Choice C, "there is little cost savings to the institution", is not necessarily true, as team nursing may be more cost-effective than other models of care if implemented effectively.
