Most clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) practice in the hospital setting. What role are they ideal for?
A) Nurse managers
B) Collaborating specialists
C) Wound care specialists
D) Case managers
Ans: D
Feedback: CNSs are ideal case managers because they have the educational background and the clinical expertise to organize and coordinate services and resources to meet the patient's health care needs in a cost-effective and efficient manner. CNSs are not ideally suited to be nurse managers, as they are not trained in the administration of health care. There is no such title as collaborating specialist, and CNSs are not trained as wound-care specialists.
