Answer to Question 1

B
The three primary questions that the Model for Improvement begins with are What are we trying to
accomplish?, How will we know that a change is an improvement? (not What change is needed
for improvement?), and What change can we make that will result in improvement? These three
questions begin the PDSA cycle for improvement for this model.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Model for Improvement, an evidence-based practice (EBP) model, uses the plan-do-study-act
(PDSA) format as the basis for its process.
