vb vb vb vb vb




ACCURATE ANSWER:-D vb




Reasoning:->>>Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes v b v b v b v b v b v b v b v b


excellence in the profession, and helps
v b v b nursing attendants to maintain their knowledge of
v b vb v b v b v b vb vb vb vb vb vb vb


critical care nursing. Certification helps to assure the consumer that the nursing attendant has a
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb


minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
v b vb v b vb v b vb vb v b vb vb vb vb vb vb


Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification
v b v b v b v b v b v b v b v b vb v b


demonstrates motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the
v b vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb


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

families influence and drive competencies of nursing attendants. Nursing practice based on the
vb v b v b vb vb v b vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb


synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the hospital patients and family’s needs and
