Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Using a Clinical Value Compass, indicators related to clinical status would include mortality,
morbidity, and infection rate. Other indicators would include incidence of nursing sensitive outcomes
such as cardiac arrest. Direct, indirect, and staffing are indicators of cost and not of clinical status.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, F
All of the options are part of the focus of quality improvement except option e.. By only reviewing
chart audits and incident reports, limited data would be obtained. Quality improvement requires
obtaining data from numerous sources.
