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