Answer to Question 1

C
Synergy has been defined as the bonus that occurs when things work together harmoniously and that
the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (Covey, 1989). Hence, synergistic nursing models such as
those espoused by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses provide nurses with a model in
which the needs and characteristics of the patient, clinical unit, or system are matched to a nurse's
competencies (Hardin, 2005).

Answer to Question 2

B
In 2009, the average salary for all categories of registered nurses was 66,530 . The top 10 earned
over 93,000 while the lowest 10 earned less than 44,000 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009).
