Which term describes a nursing care model in which the primary nurse provides most daily care?

• A. Primary Nursing
• B. Biohazard
• C. Congenital Nursing
• D. Wheeze

Answer: (A)

Primary Nursing describes a care delivery approach where one nurse assumes responsibility for planning, directing, and providing most of the daily care for a patient. This primary nurse conducts ongoing assessments, develops and updates the care plan, and remains accountable for the patient’s progress, usually staying closely involved at the bedside and coordinating with other staff. The aim is continuity of care and a strong nurse–patient relationship, with the patient and family seeing a consistent caregiver. The other options don't fit because they refer to safety terminology (biohazard), an unrelated or nonstandard term for a care model (congenital nursing), or a symptom (wheeze).
