Which statement best describes core team functions?

Core team functions are centered on delivering direct patient care and coordinating treatment at the bedside. Those who provide direct patient care—physicians, nurses, therapists, and other clinicians—are the driving force behind daily care decisions, monitoring responses to treatment, interpreting results, and adjusting plans in real time. Their close contact with the patient ensures safety, continuity, and timely communication with the rest of the team. Administrative tasks and resource management support the care process but are not the primary focus of the core team’s work. While collaboration with other teams and disciplines is essential for comprehensive care, the defining aspect of the core team is its direct involvement in delivering and tailoring patient care.
