Answer to Question 1

C
Time series charts will allow you to see changes in quality over time. These charts will also allow you
to determine whether a process is in control, meaning the process has normal variation rather than
dramatic changes that are not predictable.

Answer to Question 2

B
When a patient dies while having a minor elective surgery, this would be considered a sentinel event.
A sentinel event is an unexpected incident involving a death or serious physical or psychological
injury to a patient.
