ma ma ma ma



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

3. The main purpose of certification is to

.

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



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

, ANS: D m a



Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence in the pr
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ofession, and helps nurses to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



Certification helps to assure the consumer that the nurse has a minimum level of know
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



free. Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certifi
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



cation demonstrates motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma m



are rated on the number of certified nurses; however, that is not the purpose of certific
a ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ation.

The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families influence
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



and drive competencies of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



involve tailored visiting to meet the patient’s and family’s needs and the application o
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



f alternative therapies if desired by the patient, but that is not the primary focus of the
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



model.
