3. The main purpose of certification is to:
v v v v v v
a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake.
v v v v v v v v v
b. prepare for graduate school. v v v
c. promote magnet status for your facility. v v v v v
d. validate knowledge of critical care nursing. v v v v v
ANS: D v
Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence in the profession, and helps
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurses to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing. Certification helps to assure the consumer that the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurse has a minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification demonstrates
v v v v v v v v v v v
motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the number of certified nurses;
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
however, that is not the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on:
v v v v v v
a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the patient 24 hours each day.
v v v v v v v v v
b. holistic and alternative therapies. v v v
c. needs of patients and their families, which drives nursing competency.
v v v v v v v v v
d. patients needs for energy and support. v v v v v
ANS: C v
The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families influence and drive competencies of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the patients and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
familys needs and application of alternative therapies if desired by the patient, but that is not the primary focus
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vof the model.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

6. The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice use what framework to guide critical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
care nursing practice?
v v v
a. Evidence-based practice v
b. Healthy work environment v v
c. National Patient Safety Goals v v v
d. Nursing process v
ANS: D
v v
The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice delineate the nursing process as applied to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
critically ill patients: collect data, determine diagnoses, identify expected outcomes, develop a plan of care,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
implement interventions, and evaluate care. AACN promotes a healthy work environment, but this is not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
included in the Standards. The Joint Commission has established National Patient Safety Goals, but these are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
not the AACN Standards.
