Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) serve in specialty roles that use their clinical, teaching,
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


research, leadership, and consultative abilities. They are instrumental in ensuring that
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


care is evidence based and that safety programs are in place. Advanced practice nurses
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


(APNs) have a broad depth of knowledge and expertise in their specialty area and
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


manage complex clinical and systems issues. Registered nurses are generally direct care
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


providers. Nurse practitioners (NPs) manage direct clinical care of groups of patients.

5. Emphasis is on human integrity and stresses the theory that the body, mind, and
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


spirit are interdependent and inseparable. This statement describes which
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


methodology of care?
b9 b9 b9


a. Holistic care b9


b. Individualized care b9


c. Cultural care b9


d. Interdisciplinary care b9




ANS: b 9 A
Holistic care focuses on human integrity and stresses that the body, mind, and spirit are
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care recognizes the uniqueness of each
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


patient’s preferences, condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status. Cultural
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


diversity in health care is not a new topic, but it is gaining emphasis and importance as
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


the world becomes more accessible to all as the result of increasing technologies and
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


interfaces with places and peoples. Interdisciplinary care is care among a variety of
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


health care professionals with the
b9 b9 b9 b9 b9


patient’s health as the common goal.

b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9 b9
