Answer to Question 1

B
The preceptor would need to clarify that none of the generations are known as pre-millennials. The
four distinct generations that make up the current workforce include the traditionals (born before
1940); the baby boomers (born between 1940 and 1960); generation X, or genXers (born between
1960 and 1980); and generation Y, or echo boomers/millennials (born after 1980).

o It is an external process of peer review to determine how the organization compares with developed standards.
o It ensures an ongoing, coordinated quality improvement plan.
o It provides standards for governance, leadership, and patient care delivery.
o In addition to the standards, there are required organizational practices (ROPs) that are evidence-based practices. Patients are at risk if these practices are not in place.

Answer to Question 3

Correct answers will include the following points.
o Risk management programs identify potential risks to patients, staff, or property.
o Three potential risks to patients, staff, or property are injuries, loss, and damage.
o All can result in financial costs to the organization.

Answer to Question 4

C
The nontraditional population-based nursing practice model includes the at-risk or high-risk
population as the primary focus. The traditional population-based nursing practice model includes total
community is the primary focus. Assessing total community's needs and identifying at-risk or
vulnerable population groups are not population-based strategies.
