What type of practitioner has a broad depth of specialty knowledge and expertise and manages complex clinical and system issues? a. Registered nurses b. Advanced practice nurses c. Clinical nurse leaders d. Intensivists ANS: b Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have a broad depth of knowledge and expertise in their specialty area and manage complex clinical and systems issues. Intensivists are medical practitioners who manage the critical ill patient. Registered nurses (RNs) are generally direct care providers. Clinical nurse leaders (CNLs) generally do not manage system issues.

What type of practitioner is instrumental in ensuring care that is evidence based and that safety programs are in place? a. Clinical nurse specialist b. Advanced practice nurse c. Registered nurses d. Nurse practitioners ANS: a Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) serve in specialty roles that use their clinical, teaching, research, leadership, and consultative abilities.

Registered nurses are generally direct care providers. Nurse practitioners (NPs) manage direct clinical care of groups of patients.

The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has developed short directives that can be used as quick references for clinical use that are known as: a. critical care protocol. b. practice policies. c. evidence-based research. d. practice alerts. ANS: d The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has promulgated several evidence-based practice summaries in the form of "practice alerts." Evidence-based nursing practice considers the best research evidence on the care topic along with clinical expertise of the nurse and patient preferences. Critical care protocol and practice policies are established by individual institutions.

What type of therapy is an option to conventional treatment? a. Alternative b. Holistic c. Complementary d. Individualized ANS: a The term alternative denotes that a specific therapy is an option or alternative to what is considered conventional treatment of a condition or state. The term complementary was proposed to describe therapies that can be used to complement or support conventional treatments. Holistic care focuses on human integrity and stresses that the body, mind, and spirit are interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care recognizes the uniqueness of each patient's preferences, condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status.

Guided imagery and massage are both examples of what type of treatment? a. Alternative therapy b. Holistic care c. Complementary care d. Individualized care ANS: c The term complementary was proposed to describe therapies that can be used to complement or support conventional treatments. Guided imagery, massage, and animal-assisted therapy are all examples of complementary care. The term alternative denotes that a specific therapy is an option or alternative to what is considered conventional treatment of a condition or state.

A patient was admitted to a rural critical care unit in Montana. Critical care nurses are assisting with monitoring and care of the patient from the closest major city. What is this type of practice termed? a. Tele-nursing b. Tele-ICU c. Tele-informatics d. Tele-hospital ANS: b Tele-ICU is a form of telemedicine. Telemedicine was initially used in outpatient areas, remote rural geographic locations, and areas where there was a dearth of medical providers. Currently, there are tele-ICUs in areas where there are limited resources on-site. However, experts (critical care nurses, intensivists) are located in a central distant site.

Which core competency for interprofessional practice can be described as working with individuals of other professions to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values? a. Interprofessional teamwork and team-based care b. Values and ethics for interprofessional practice c. Interprofessional communication d. Roles and responsibilities for collaborative practice ANS: b Values and ethics for interprofessional practice mean working with individuals of other professions to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values. Roles and responsibilities for collaborative practice include using knowledge of one's own role and the roles of other professions to appropriately assess and address the health care needs of the patients and populations served. Interprofessional communication includes communicating with patients, families, communities, and other health professionals in a responsive and responsible manner that supports a team approach to maintaining health and treatment of disease. Interprofessional teamwork and team-based care means applying relationship-building values and principles of team dynamics to perform effectively in different team roles to plan and deliver patient population-centered care that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, and equitable.

Which nursing intervention continues to be one of the most error-prone for critical care nurses? a. Inappropriate care b. Intimidating and disruptive clinician behavior c. Injury to patients by falls d. Medication administration ANS: d Medication administration continues to be one of the most error-prone nursing interventions for critical care nurses. Intimidating and disruptive clinician behaviors can lead to errors and preventable adverse patient outcomes. Patient safety has been described as an ethical imperative and one that is inherent in health care professionals' actions and interpersonal processes; examples include inappropriate care and injury to patients by falls.

A practitioner and nurse are performing a dressing change on an unresponsive patient in room 14. The practitioner asks the nurse for an update on the patient in room 13. Which action should the nurse take next? a. Give the update to the practitioner. b. Refuse to give the update because of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements. c. Give the update because the patient is unconscious. d. Refuse to give the update because of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. ANS: b Most specific to critical care clinicians is the privacy and confidentiality related to protection of health care data. This has implications when interacting with family members and others and the often very close work environments, tight working spaces, and emergency situations. A patient's unconscious state is not a reason for another patient's care to be discussed in his or her presence. Research shows hearing is the last sense to deteriorate. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has to do with safety in the workplace, not privacy and confidentiality.

Which units can provide high-quality and cost-effective care for patients who are less complex, more stable, and have a decreased need for physiologic monitoring? a. Intensive care units b. Triage units c. Progressive care units d. Medical surgical units ANS: c A growing trend in acute care settings is the designation of progressive care units, considered to be part of the continuum of critical care. These units can serve as a bridge between intensive care units and medical-surgical units, while providing high-quality and cost-effective care at the same time. Patients who are ideal candidates for progressive care are less complex, more stable, have a decreased need for physiologic monitoring, and more self-care capabilities.
