Answer to Question 1

B
The repercussions of quality improvement for patient care can be measured by the overall value of that
care. Value itself is a function of both quality outcomes and cost; for example, outcomes can be a
patient's return to functional status (or mortality/morbidity), and the cost is a combination of both the
indirect and direct patient care needs.

Answer to Question 2
