NU 406: The AACN Synergy Model For Patient
Care
AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care ANS✔✔ What is this: that the needs or characteristics of patients and families
influence and drive the characteristics or competencies of nurses?
synergy ANS✔✔ What is this: results when the needs and characteristics of a patient, clinical unit or system are matched
with a nurse's competencies?
patient and family ANS✔✔ The dimensions of a nurse's practice are driven by the needs of who?
- patients are biological, psychological, social, and spiritual entities who present at a particular developmental stage. The
whole patient (body, mind and spirit) must be considered
- the patient, family and community all contribute to providing a context for the nurse-patient relationship
- patients can be described by a number of characteristics. All characteristics are connected and contribute to each
other. Characteristics cannot be looked at in isolation

- similarly, nurses can be described on a number of dimensions. The interrelated dimensions paint a profile of the nurse
- a goal of nursing is to restore a patient to an optimal level of wellness as defined by the patient. Death can be an
acceptable outcome, in which the goal of nursing care is to move a patient toward a peaceful death ANS✔✔ What are
some of the assumptions regarding nurses, patients and families that are guided by the Synergy Model?
resiliency ANS✔✔ What Synergy Model is this: the capacity to return to a restorative level of functioning using
compensatory/coping mechanisms; the ability to bounce back quickly after an insult?
Level 1 - minimally resilient ANS✔✔ What level of resiliency is this: unable to mount a response; failure of
compensatory/coping mechanisms; minimal reserves; brittle?
level 3 - moderately resilient ANS✔✔ What level of resiliency is this: able to mount a moderate response; able to initiate
some degree of compensation; moderate reserves?
level 5 - highly resilient ANS✔✔ What level of resiliency is this: able to mount and maintain a response; intact
compensatory/coping mechanisms; strong reserves; endurance?
vulnerability ANS✔✔ What synergy model is this: susceptibility to actual or potential stressors that may adversely affect
patient outcomes?
level 1 - minimally stable ANS✔✔ What level of stability is this: labile; unstable; unresponsive to therapies; high risk of
death?
level 3 - moderately stable ANS✔✔ What level of stability is this: able to maintain steady state for limited period of time;
some responsiveness to therapies?
level 5 - highly stable ANS✔✔ What level of stability is this: constant; responsive to therapies; low risk of death?
complexity ANS✔✔ What synergy model is this: the intricate entanglement of two or more systems (e.g., body, family,
therapies)?
