AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care - answer✔What is this: that the needs or characteristics

synergy - answer✔What is this: results when the needs and characteristics of a patient, clinical
unit or system are matched with a nurse's competencies?
patient and family - answer✔The dimensions of a nurse's practice are driven by the needs of
who?
- patients are biological, psychological, social, and spiritual entities who present at a particular
developmental stage. The whole patient (body, mind and spirit) must be considered
- the patient, family and community all contribute to providing a context for the nurse-patient
relationship
- patients can be described by a number of characteristics. All characteristics are connected and
contribute to each other. Characteristics cannot be looked at in isolation
- similarly, nurses can be described on a number of dimensions. The interrelated dimensions
paint a profile of the nurse
- a goal of nursing is to restore a patient to an optimal level of wellness as defined by the patient.

and families that are guided by the Synergy Model?
Level 1 - minimally resilient - answer✔What level of resiliency is this: unable to mount a
response; failure of compensatory/coping mechanisms; minimal reserves; brittle?
level 3 - moderately resilient - answer✔What level of resiliency is this: able to mount a moderate
response; able to initiate some degree of compensation; moderate reserves?
level 5 - highly resilient - answer✔What level of resiliency is this: able to mount and maintain a
response; intact compensatory/coping mechanisms; strong reserves; endurance?
vulnerability - answer✔What synergy model is this: susceptibility to actual or potential stressors
that may adversely affect patient outcomes?
level 1 - minimally stable - answer✔What level of stability is this: labile; unstable; unresponsive
to therapies; high risk of death?
level 3 - moderately stable - answer✔What level of stability is this: able to maintain steady state
for limited period of time; some responsiveness to therapies?
level 5 - highly stable - answer✔What level of stability is this: constant; responsive to therapies;
low risk of death?
complexity - answer✔What synergy model is this: the intricate entanglement of two or more
