Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Incident reports are primarily used to facilitate improvements, not to determine culpability. A client's health record is not the appropriate place for documenting strategies for future care. Holding a meeting does not replace the need to document the event in the form of an incident report.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
A large proportion of adverse events in hospital settings involves medication administration. It is generally accepted that medication administration is more risky than communication of testing results, client transfers, or client admissions.
