MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The chief nurse executive is organizing a team to address an organizational increase in
catheter-associated urinary tract infections. What type of practitioner would be appropriate
choice to lead this system-wide team?
a. Registered nurse
b. Advanced practice nurse
c. Clinical nurse leader
d. Intensivist
ANS: B
An advanced practice nurse (APN) manages complex clinical and systems issues and
would be an appropriate choice to lead the team. An intensivist is a medical practitioner
ST
who manages critical ill patients. A registered nurse (RN) is generally a direct care
provider. A clinical nurse leader (CNL) generally does not manage system issues. An
intensivist may be asked to consult with the team and the RN and CNL may be asked to
join the team but none of them would be the most appropriate to lead the team.

2. An employee health practitioner is concerned about the increase in work-related injuries
and is organizing a team to address safe patient handling. What type of practitioner would

be the most appropriate choice to lead this team?
a. Clinical nurse specialist
b. Nurse anesthetist
c. Registered nurse
d. Nurse practitioner
??
ANS: A
A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) would be the most appropriate choice to lead this team.
CNSs make good team leaders as they can use their clinical, teaching, research,
consultative and leadership abilities to address the problem. Nurse anesthetists administer
?
anesthesia and would not be the most appropriate choice to lead the team. Registered
nurses are generally direct care providers and would be appropriate to include on the team
but not the most appropriate choice to lead the team. Nurse practitioners (NPs) manage
direct clinical care of groups of patients and would not be the most appropriate choice to
lead the team.
