Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
:
A retrospective audit uses post-discharge questionnaires to collect data. A nursing audit is a method of evaluating nursing care that involves reviewing client records to assess the outcomes of nursing care (or the process by which these outcomes were achieved). Concurrent evaluation involves direct observations of nursing care, client interviews, and chart review to determine whether the specified evaluative criteria are met. Peer review involves the evaluation of one staff member by another staff member on the same level in the hierarchy of the organization. This is done for the purpose of professional performance improvement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: E

The nurse is collecting evaluative data to determine whether or not the client is achieving the therapeutic response to the bronchodilator.
