Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The functional method of care delivery assigns various nursing team members to provide specific aspects of care to the patient. The RN might give medications and provide health teaching, the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) might provide hygiene, the LPN/LVN might take vital signs and change a dressing, lab personnel might draw blood specimens, and so on. Primary nursing provides the least fragmentation. With the case method, one nurse is responsible for most of the patient care. Patient-focused care attempts to limit fragmentation by using cross-trained personnel.
