An advantage of Team Nursing is:

• A. Work is shared with others.
• B. Care remains isolated to each nurse.
• C. Consistent patient-nurse pair across shifts.
• D. Increased fragmentation.

Answer: (A)

Team Nursing brings together a group of staff to care for a set of patients, with tasks assigned to the team members based on their skills. The key benefit is that work is shared with others, so the workload is distributed rather than resting on a single nurse. This allows more efficient use of the team, ensures patient needs are addressed promptly, and provides reliable coverage when someone is busy or takes a break. The team leader coordinates and oversees the plan of care, promoting coordinated, holistic care for all patients. This contrasts with models where care stays with one nurse across shifts or where care becomes fragmented, which are not advantages of Team Nursing.
