Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Years of nursing experience did not correlate with client survival, but nurse staffing and certified surgeons were also statistically significant in reducing mortality.
Rationale 2: Hospital data included the size, but this was not an outcome of the findings.

Rationale 4: Nurse staffing and certified surgeons were also statistically significant in reducing mortality.
