Nursing Care Models Worksheet Guidelines

Work sheet- attached worksheet template must be used & book chapter.

1. Read your text, Finkelman (2016), pp- 111-116. Start by reading pages 111-116 of your textbook “Leadership and Management for Nurses: Core Competencies for Quality Care” by Anita Finkelman. The reading you will do here is to help you understand the different nursing care systems used in healthcare.
2. Watch the staff as they provide nursing care. Depending on the availability, practice settings can vary. In a hospital, observe the nurses providing care. You may choose any available practice environment. What is the nursing staff doing? Who is doing it, how is it done? And what made you choose that particular model of care for your patients.
3. Name the nursing care model that you have observed. Identify which nursing care model you saw during your observations. Identify the nursing care model that you observed. Be as specific as possible about your observations, including who did what and when.
4. Find and review one academic resource, other than your textbook, that discusses the nursing care model observed in practice. You can find a resource that is not in your text book to discuss the model of nursing care you have observed. Write a summary of the article, and then explain its relationship to the nursing model that you observed.
5. Examine and summarize a scholarly source (excluding your text) that discusses a nursing model different than what you have observed in the clinical setting. Look for a resource other than your textbook that describes a different nursing care model from what you have observed. Explain how the nursing care model differs from what you saw in the practice setting.
6. Talk about a model of nursing care that is different from the one in step 3 and discuss how you could implement it to improve nursing quality, staff satisfaction, and safety. Specificity is key. Distinguish a model of care that is different than the one you observed at step 3 and describe how this could be used to improve quality and satisfaction with staff, as well as safety. Explain your reasoning in detail.
