Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Administration of antibiotics, along with acting on the information obtained from the blood cul-tures, is the standard of care developed for patients admitted with CAP. Blood cultures need to be obtained prior to administration of antibiotics. Options C and D do not apply to CAP stand-ards.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Staffing may be directly affected by outcomes data. Changes in patient acuity is unaffected by data collection and is incorrect. Introduction of the needleless system was an initiative from The Joint Commission. Changes to the interview process are usually not affected by data collected.
