MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following professional organizations best supports critical care nursing practice?
a. American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
b. American Heart Association
c. American Nurses Association
d. Society of Critical Care Medicine
CORRECT ANS: A
Rationale: The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses is the specialty organization that supports and
represents critical care nurses. The American Heart Association supports cardiovascular initiatives. The
American Nurses Association supports all nurses. The Society of Critical Care Medicine represents the
multiprofessional criticalcare team under the direction of an intensivist.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 4
OBJ: Discuss the purposes and functions of the professional organizations that support critical care practice.

2. A nurse has been working as a staff nurse in the surgical intensive care unit for 2 years and is interested in
certification. Which credential would be most applicable for her to seek?
a. ACNPC
b. CCNS
c. CCRN
d. PCCN
CORRECT ANS: C
Rationale: The CCRN certification is appropriate for nurses in bedside practice who care for critically ill
clients. The ACNPC certification is for acute care nurse practitioners. The CCNS certification is for critical
care clinical nurse specialists. The PCCN certification is for staff nurses working in progressive care,
intermediate care, or step-down unit settings.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 5
OBJ: Explain certification options for critical care nurses. TOP: Nursing Process Step: N/A

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.
CORRECT ANS: D
Rationale: 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, that is not the purpose of certification.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: pp. 4-5
OBJ: Explain certification options for critical care nurses. TOP: Nursing Process Step: N/A
MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment
4. The synergy model of practice focuses on:
a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the client 24 hours each day.
b. holistic and alternative therapies.
c. needs of clients and their families, which drives nursing competency.
d. clients needs for energy and support.
CORRECT ANS: C
Rationale: The synergy model of practice states that the needs of clients and families influence and drive
competencies of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the
clients and familys needs and application of alternative therapies if desired by the client, but that is not the
primary focus of the model.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 5 | Fig. 1-3
OBJ: Describe standards of professional practice for critical care nursing.

5. The family of your critically ill client tells you that they have not spoken with the physician in over 24
hours and they have some questions that they want clarified. During morning rounds, you convey this concern
to the attending intensivist and arrange for her to meet with the family at 4:00 PM in the conference room.
