2. A nurse has been working as a staff nurse in the surgical intensive care unit for 2 years a
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nd is interested in certification. Which credential would be most applicable for the nur
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



se to seek? ap ap



a. ACNPC-AG
b. CNML
c. CCRN
d. PCCN
ANS: C a p



Rationale:The CCRN certification is appropriate for nurses in bedside practice who carap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



e for critically ill patients. The ACNPC-
ap ap ap ap ap ap



AG certification is for acute care nurse practitioners. The CNML is for critical care nurs
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



e managers or leaders. The PCCN certification is for staff nurses working in progressive
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



care, intermediate care, or step-down unit settings.

3. The main purpose of certification is to
ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. prepare for graduate school. ap ap ap



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



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

, ANS: D a p



Rationale:Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellenc ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



e in the profession, and helps nurses to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



.
Certification helps to assure the consumer that the nurse has a minimum level of knowle
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



dge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



free. Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certifica
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



tion demonstrates motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



rated on the number of certified nurses; however, that is not the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on
ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the patient 24 hours a day. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. holistic and alternative therapies. ap ap ap



c. the needs of patients and their families, which drive nursing competency.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. patients’ needs for energy and support. ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: C a p



Rationale:The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nfluence and drive competencies of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy mode
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



l would involve tailored visiting to meet the patient’s and family’s needs and the applicat
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ion of alternative therapies if desired by the patient, but that is not the primary focus of t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



he model. ap

5. The family of your critically ill patient tells you that they have not spoken with the physi
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



cian in over 24 hours and that they have some questions they want clarified. During mor
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap a p ap



ning rounds, you convey this concern to the attending intensivist and arrange a meeting w
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ith the family at 4:00 PM. Which competency of critical care nursing does this represent
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

a. Advocacy and moral agency in solving ethical issues ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. Clinical judgment and clinical reasoning skills ap ap ap ap ap



c. Collaboration with patients, families, and team members ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. Facilitation of learning for patients, families, and team members ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: C a p



Rationale:Although one might consider that all of these competencies are being addres ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



sed, communication and collaboration with the family and physician best exemplify the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



competency of collaboration. ap ap
