About the CPNE (Clinical Performance in Nursing
Examination)
The CPNE tests the application
of the nursing process and the technical component of
practice in the care of adults and children in the acute
care setting.
Patients in this setting are experiencing
potential actual, and/or recurring health problems requiring
maintenance and restorative interventions. The examination
is organized around three phases of the nursing process:
planning, implementation, and evaluation. The planning phase
subsumes assessment and analysis of information necessary
for diagnosis. Interventions based on sound assessments and
diagnoses of patients' responses to their health problems
are designed to maintain, restore, alleviate, and
rehabilitate and are then evaluated for
effectiveness.
Critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning,
use of knowledge from nursing and related disciplines, and
standards of care are measured in critical elements on this
examination.
