This is an example of primary care nursing,in which the nurse is the principal or primary person to manage and coordinate the patient's care around the clock.Patient-focused care is an interdisciplinary approach to patient care.Functional care is the provision of care by nursing and nursing ancillary staff rather than by an all-nursing staff as seen in primary care nursing.Case management is a model of care delivery in which a nurse case manager coordinates and collaborates with other health services when a patient has complicated health care needs,but the case manager may not be involved in the daily care activities of the patient.
