Answer to Question 1

C
Individuals who are deemed accountable are able to report, explain, or justify their actions. For
example, a nurse who assigned a NAP to bathe a patient and discovers that this has not been done
although it is nearing the end of the shift takes responsibility for this task and might talk with the NAP
to see why this was left undone, complete the task with the NAP, complete the task themselves, or
report this undone task to the next shift or unit manager.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Bassett Healthcare Quality Compass is comprised of four unit quality improvement outcome
domains. These domains are functional status, patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and
cost/utilization.
