3. The main purpose of certification is to:
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l




a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake.
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l




b. prepare for graduate school. 9l 9l 9l




c. promote magnet status for your facility. 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l

9l 9l 9l 9l 9l




ANS: D 9l




Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence in the profession, and helps n
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9 l


urses to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing. Certification helps to assure the consumer that the
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9 l


nurse has a minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l


Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification demonstrates motiv
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9 l


ation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the number of certified nurses; how
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9 l


ever, that is not the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on:
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l

d. patients needs for energy and support.
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l

9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l


encies of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to meet the patients
9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l 9l


and familys needs and application of alternative therapies if desired by the patient, but that is not the pr
