The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families
influence and drive competencies ofnurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy

b. Clinical judgment and clinical reasoning skills


c. Collaboration with patients, families, and team members


d. Facilitation of learning for patients, families, and team

best exemplify the competency of collaboration.

6. The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice use
what framework to guide critical care nursing practice?


a. Evidence-based practice


b. Healthy work environment


c. National Patient Safety Goals


d. Nursing process


ANS: D

The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice delineate the
nursing process as applied to critically ill patients: collect data, determine
diagnoses, identify expected outcomes, develop a plan of care, implement
interventions, and evaluate care. AACN promotes a healthy work
environment, but this is not included in the Standards. The Joint
Commission has established National Patient Safety Goals, but these are not the
AACN Standards.
