Assigning a group of patients to a group of staff members under the leadership of a professional nurse is called?

Correct option is B

Sol. Team nursing is a model where a team of nurses, led by a professional nurse, collectively takes responsibility for a group of patients. It promotes collaboration, division of tasks based on skill level, and improves patient care quality. It is commonly used in hospitals to increase efficiency and coordination.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Functional method – Each nurse performs specific tasks (e.g., one gives meds, another does dressing), not based on patient groupings.
· (b) Team method – Correct. A team led by an RN manages a group of patients together.
· (c) Primary nursing – One nurse is responsible for the total care of a patient during the entire stay; no group involvement.
· (d) None of these – Incorrect, because the correct method (team nursing) is listed.
