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

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

methodology of care?
b9 b9 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.
