Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The specific approaches to QI are methods used to manage a specific health care delivery system in an attempt to deliver care with outcomes acceptable to the consumer. Evaluating an agency's ability to meet criteria, providing care to individual citizens, and using criteria set forth by regu-latory agencies are not specific approaches to QI.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The best method of discovering what could be the most important accomplishments of the team and what changes are desirable is brainstorming. Brainstorming involves getting everyone's input about a possible process situation, with no team member criticizing the suggestion. Comparing job descriptions, analyzing mission and goals, and developing charts and diagrams would not lead to as much discovery as brainstorming.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
