Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
The standards in seven areas of excellence established by the BNQA are (1) leadership, (2) stra-tegic planning, (3) customer and market focus (focus on patients, other customers, and markets), (4) information and analysis, (5) human resource focus, (6) process management, and (7) business results (organizational performance results).

Answer to Question 2

C
When a nurse accepts a position in a health care agency, that nurse makes a commitment to the goals and philosophy of the nursing service department in that organization. Providing emotional support to the mother meets the needs of the mother while maintaining a commitment to the goals and philosophy of the nursing service department.
