A registered nurse asks the student nurse about the characteristics of primary nursing. The registered nurse intervenes if the student nurse says:
  1. “The primary nurse can delegate the client’s care to others in her absence, but she must be consulted when new problems arise.”
  2. “The primary nurse retains responsibility and accountability for clients under her care until they are discharged.”
  3. “The main focus of primary nursing is on who plans the client care and not who does the care.”
  4. “A primary nurse to one client cannot function as a caregiver to another client at the same time, following a plan developed by another primary nurse.”
Explanation
Answer: D - A primary nurse can still give care to other clients who are under the care of another primary nurse. The other options are accurate.
