, 3. The main purpose of certification is to:
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




a. assure the consumer that you will not make a mistake.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




b. prepare for graduate school.
x@ x@ x@




c. promote magnet status for your facility.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




d. validate knowledge of critical care nursing.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




ANS: D x@




Certification assists in validating knowledge of the field, promotes excellence in the profession, and
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


helps nurses to maintain their knowledge of critical care nursing. Certification helps to assure the c
x @ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


onsumer that the nurse has a minimum level of knowledge; however, it does not ensure that
x@ x@ x @ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


care will be mistake-free.
x@ x@ x@


Certification does not prepare one for graduate school; however, achieving certification demonstrates
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x


@ motivation for achievement and professionalism. Magnet facilities are rated on the number of certifi
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


ed nurses; however, that is not the purpose of certification.

4. The synergy model of practice focuses on:
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




a. allowing unrestricted visiting for the patient 24 hours each day.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




b. holistic and alternative therapies.
x@ x@ x@




c. needs of patients and their families, which drives nursing competency.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




d. patients needs for energy and support.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




ANS: C x@




The synergy model of practice states that the needs of patients and families influence and drive
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


x@competencies of nurses. Nursing practice based on the synergy model would involve tailored visiting to
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


meet the patients and familys needs and application of alternative therapies if desired by the pati
x@ x@ x@ x@ x @ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


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