TEST BANK Priorities in Critical Care Nursing 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.The chief nurse executive is organizing a team to
address an organizational increase in catheter-associated
urinary tract infections. What type of practitioner would
be appropriate choice to lead this system-wide team?
a. Registered nurse
b. Advanced practice nurse
c. Clinical nurse leader
d. Intensivist
ANS: b
An advanced practice nurse (APN) manages complex
clinical and systems issues and would be an appropriate
choice to lead the team. An intensivist is a medical
practitioner who manages critical ill patients. A registered
nurse (RN) is generally a direct care provider. A clinical
nurse leader (CNL) generally does not manage system
issues. An intensivist may be asked to consult with the
team and the RN and CNL may be asked to join the team
but none of them would be the most appropriate to lead
the team.

2.An employee health practitioner is concerned about the
increase in work-related injuries and is organizing a team
to address safe patient handling. What type of
practitioner would be the most appropriate choice to lead
this team?
a. Clinical nurse specialist
,b. Nurse anesthetist
c. Registered nurse
d. Nurse practitioner
ANS: a
A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) would be the most
appropriate choice to lead this team. CNSs make good
team leaders as they can use their clinical, teaching,
research, consultative and leadership abilities to address
the problem. Nurse anesthetists administer anesthesia
and would not be the most appropriate choice to lead the
team. Registered nurses are generally direct care
providers and would be appropriate to include on the
team but not the most appropriate choice to lead the
team. Nurse practitioners (NPs) manage direct clinical
care of groups of patients and would not be the most
appropriate choice to lead the team.

patient asks the health care practitioner if there are any
other therapies available. The practitioner recommends
the patient seek what type of therapy?
a. Alternative
b. Holistic
c. Complementary
d. Individualized
ANS: a
The term alternative denotes that a specific therapy is an
option or alternative to what is considered conventional
treatment of a condition or state. The term
complementary was proposed to describe therapies that
can be used to complement or support conventional
treatments. Holistic care focuses on human integrity and
stresses that the body, mind, and spirit are
interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care
recognizes the uniqueness of each patient's preferences,
condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status.
