b. prepare for graduate school. n1 n1 n1




c. promote magnet status for your facility.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




d. validate knowledge of critical care nursing.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




ACCURATE ANSWER:-D n1




Reasoning:->>>Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1



in the profession, and helps nursing attendants to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing.
n 1 n 1 n1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Certification helps to assure the consumer that the nursing attendant has a minimum level of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n 1



knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
n1 n 1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification
n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n1 n 1



demonstrates motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the number
n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



of certified nursing attendants; however, that is not the purpose of certification.

n1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n 1 n1



influence and drive competencies of nursing attendants. Nursing practice based on the synergy model
n 1 n 1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n 1



would involve tailored visiting to meet the hospital patients and family’s needs and application of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1



alternative therapies if desired by the hospital patient, but that is not the primary focus of the model.

of collaboration.

a. Evidence-based practice n1




b. Healthy work environment n1 n1




c. National Hospital patient Safety Goals n1 n1 n1 n1

ACCURATE ANSWER:-

D

Reasoning:->>>The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice delineate the nursing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



process as applied tocritically ill hospital patients: collect data, determine diagnoses, identify
n 1 n1 n1 n1 n 1 n 1 n1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1



expected outcomes, develop a plan of care, implement interventions, and evaluate care.
n 1 n 1 n1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1



AACN promotes a healthy work environment, but this is not included in the Standards. The
n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Joint Commission has established National Hospital patient Safety Goals, but these are not the AACN

Standards.
