catheter -associated urinary tract infections. What type of practitioner would be appropriate
choice to lead this system -wide team?
a.Registered nurse
b.Advanced practice nurse
c.Clinical nurse leader
d.Intensivist
ANS: B An advanced practice nurse (APN) manages complex clinical and systems issues and would be an appropriate choice to lead the team. An intensivist is a medical practitioner who manages critical ill patients. A registered nurse (RN) is generally a direct care provider.

An intensivist may be asked to consult with the team and the RN and CNL may be asked to join the team but none of them would be the most appropriate to lead the team.
