j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
ACNPC certification is for acute care nurse practitioners. The CCNS certification is for critical care clinical
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

3. The main purpose of certification is to: j j j j j j
a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake. j j j j j j j j j
b. prepare for graduate school. j j j
c. promote magnet status for your facility. j j j j j
d. validate knowledge of critical care nursing. j j j j j
ANS: D j
Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence in the profession, and helps nurses to
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing. Certification helps to assure the consumer that the nurse has a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
jminimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification demonstrates motivation
j j j j j j j j j j j j
for achievement and professionalism. Magnetfacilities are rated on the number of certified nurses; however, that is
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
not the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on: j j j j j j
a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the patient 24 hours each day. j j j j j j j j j
b. holistic and alternative therapies. j j j
c. needs of patients and their families, which drives nursing competency.
j j j j j j j j j
d. patients needs for energy and support. j j j j j
ANS: C j
The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families influence and drive competencies
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the patients and familys
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
needs and application of alternative therapies if desired by the patient, but that is not the primary focus of the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
model.
