Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Each surgeon has their own patient load in their practice and this would change the strategic plan. The other options reduce admissions to the hospital by reducing patient illnesses or aid in identifying diseases early.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The term Financial when used as a CSF indicates the economic benefits derived from the quality of the service provided by the best people. The other options do not represent the meaning of the term Financial when used as a CSF.
