practice who care for critically illhospital clients. The ACNPC-AG certification is for acute
NH NH NH NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
care nursing attendant practitioners. The CNML is forcritical care nursing attendant

3. The main purpose of certification is to
NH NH NH NH NH NH
a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake. NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
b. prepare for graduate school. NH NH NH
c. promote magnet status for your facility. NH NH NH NH NH
d. validate knowledge of critical care nursing. NH NH NH NH NH
ACCURATE ANSWER: D NH N H
, Reasoning :->>Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
excellence in the profession, and helps nursing attendants to maintain their knowledge of
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
critical care nursing. Certificationhelps to assure the consumer that the nursing attendant has
NH NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
a minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that care will be mistake-free.
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
demonstrates motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
the number of certified nursing attendants; however, that isnot the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on
NH NH NH NH NH NH
a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the hospital client 24 hours a day. NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
b. holistic and alternative therapies. NH NH NH
c. the needs of hospital clients and their families, which drive nursing competency.
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
d. hospital clients’ needs for energy and support. NH NH NH NH NH NH
ACCURATE ANSWER: C NH N H
Reasoning :->>The synergy model of practice states that the needs of hospital clients
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
and families influence and drive competencies of nursing attendants. Nursing practice
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
based on the synergy model would involvetailored visiting to meet the hospital client’s
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH
and family’s needs and the application of alternative therapies if desired by the hospital

client, but that is not the primary focus of the model.

5. The family of your critically ill hospital client tells you that they have not spoken with the
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
physicianin over 24 hours and that they have some questions they want clarified. During
NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
morning rounds, you convey this concern to the attending intensivist and arrange a
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
meeting with the family at 4:00 PM. Which competency of critical care nursing does this

c. Collaboration with hospital clients, families, and team members NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
d. Facilitation of learning for hospital clients, families, and team members NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
ACCURATE ANSWER: C NH N H
Reasoning :->>Although one might consider that all of these competencies are
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
being addressed, communication and collaboration with the family and physician
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH

NH toguide critical care nursing practice?
N
H NH NH NH NH
a. Evidence-based practice NH
, b. Healthy work environment NH NH
c. National Hospital client Safety Goals NH NH NH NH
d. Nursing process NH
ACCURATE ANSWER: D NH N H
Reasoning :->>The AACN Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice delineate
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
the nursing process as applied to critically ill hospital clients: collect data, determine
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
diagnoses, identify expectedoutcomes, develop a plan of care, implement interventions, and
NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
evaluate care. AACN promotes a healthy work environment, but this is not included in its
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
standards. The Joint Commission has established National Hospital client Safety Goals, but
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
these are not the AACN standards.

7. The charge nursing attendant is responsible for making the hospital client assignments on the
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
critical care unit. An experienced, certified nursing attendant is assigned to care for the
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
acutely ill hospital client with sepsis who also requires continuous renal replacement therapy
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
and mechanical ventilation. The nursing attendant withless than 1 year of experience is
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH NH
assigned to two hospital clients who are more stable. This assignment reflects
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
implementation of the
NH NH NH
a. crew resource management model. NH NH NH

c. Quality and Safety Education for Nursing attendants (QSEN) model.

Reasoning :->>This assignment demonstrates nursing care to meet the needs of the hospital

client. The synergy model notes that the nursing attendant competencies are matched to the
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
hospital client characteristics. Crew resource management concepts are related to team
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH
training; National Hospital client Safety Goals arespecified by The Joint Commission to
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH N
H NH NH NH NH NH
promote safe care but do not incorporate the synergy model. The Quality and Safety
NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH NH

graduate nursing students on quality and safety concepts.
