Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
When quality of care improves, patient satisfaction improves and has a direct affect on staff sat-isfaction and thus retention. These improvements can then be used as benchmarks against other institutions. Improvement in patient satisfaction is usually a direct reflection of improved quality of care and other nursing-related issues, leading to nurse satisfaction and retention. Benchmark-ing against other institutions is a common method used for determining quality of care. Options B and C are not related to patient satisfaction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Comparison of current results to previous results (whether good or bad) provides a visual image to which most people can relate. Options A and B are not good methods and do not allow for discussion or brainstorming. Option C does not provide a relationship to past performance.
