‭2.‬ ‭Team‬ ‭Nursing‬ ‭:‬ ‭A‬ ‭model‬ ‭that‬ ‭consists‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭team‬ ‭leader‬ ‭providing‬ ‭some‬ ‭client‬ ‭care‬ ‭while‬ ‭delegating‬‭specific‬‭tasks‬‭to‬‭other‬‭nursing‬‭members‬‭including‬‭unlicensed‬‭assistive‬‭personnel.‬‭All‬ ‭Team members are working with the same plan of care to achieve the same goals and outcomes.‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Total‬ ‭Care‬ ‭:‬ ‭A‬‭client-focused‬‭or‬‭case-method‬‭nursing‬‭model‬‭in‬‭which‬‭one‬‭RN‬‭is‬‭responsible‬‭for‬ ‭all aspects of a client's care.‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Functional‬ ‭Nursing‬ ‭:‬ ‭In‬ ‭this‬ ‭model,‬ ‭specific‬ ‭tasks‬‭and‬‭duties‬‭are‬‭assigned‬‭to‬‭the‬‭nursing‬‭team‬ ‭members.‬ ‭These‬ ‭tasks‬ ‭may‬ ‭include‬ ‭monitoring‬ ‭vital‬ ‭signs,‬ ‭administering‬ ‭medications,‬ ‭or‬ ‭providing‬‭wound‬‭care.‬‭This‬‭nursing‬‭model‬‭ensures‬‭that‬‭each‬‭client‬‭receives‬‭the‬‭necessary‬‭care‬ ‭without‬‭duplicating‬‭services.‬‭Functional‬‭nursing‬‭tasks‬‭are‬‭delegated‬‭based‬‭on‬‭the‬‭staff’s‬‭scope‬ ‭of practice and competency level.‬

‭Mastering the Art of Delegation: A Vital Nursing Skill‬ ‭Delegation‬ ‭is‬ ‭the‬ ‭transfer‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭nurse's‬ ‭responsibility‬ ‭for‬ ‭a‬ ‭task‬ ‭while‬ ‭retaining‬ ‭professional‬ ‭accountability.‬ ‭Delegation‬ ‭is‬ ‭an‬ ‭indispensable‬ ‭skill‬ ‭for‬ ‭nurses.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭essential‬ ‭to‬ ‭carefully‬ ‭select‬ ‭the‬ ‭appropriate‬ ‭person‬ ‭for‬ ‭any‬ ‭given‬ ‭task‬ ‭and‬ ‭ensure‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭person‬ ‭has‬‭both‬‭the‬‭authority‬‭and‬‭skills‬‭to‬ ‭carry‬ ‭out‬ ‭the‬ ‭task.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭also‬ ‭imperative‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭instructions‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭delegated‬ ‭task‬ ‭are‬ ‭clear‬ ‭and‬ ‭understood‬ ‭by‬ ‭all.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭important‬ ‭to‬ ‭note‬ ‭that‬ ‭tasks‬ ‭appropriately‬ ‭delegated‬ ‭to‬ ‭unlicensed‬ ‭assistive‬ ‭personnel‬‭(UAP)‬ ‭will‬‭still‬‭remain‬‭the‬‭responsibility‬‭of‬‭the‬‭nurse.‬‭Assessing‬‭the‬‭competency‬‭and‬‭scope‬‭of‬ ‭the‬‭UAP‬‭is‬‭a‬‭crucial‬‭part‬‭of‬‭delegation.‬‭As‬‭a‬‭nurse,‬‭you‬‭should‬‭be‬‭prepared‬‭to‬‭provide‬‭aid,‬‭monitor,‬‭and‬ ‭appreciate a job well done.‬ ‭Nurses‬‭should‬‭refrain‬‭from‬‭entrusting‬‭nonprofessional‬‭personnel‬‭with‬‭any‬‭of‬‭the‬‭following:‬ ‭nursing‬ ‭evaluations;‬ ‭identification‬ ‭of‬ ‭diagnosis,‬ ‭care‬ ‭goals,‬ ‭progress‬ ‭plans;‬ ‭or‬ ‭interventions‬ ‭that‬ ‭necessitate‬ ‭specialized knowledge and expertise.‬
