Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Outcomes research focuses on the end results of patient care. For such research, items in the hospital database would be logical variables. Donabedian (1987) identified three objects to evaluate when appraising quality: structure, process, and outcome. Individual health histories are difficult to retrieve from a database and not in a form in which they can be analyzed. Size of waiting room, and staff levels of education and training, are structural variables. Quality of life and patient survival are outcome variables.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, F, G
Outcomes research focuses on end results. If nurse satisfaction is conceptualized as an outcome variable, the items that are markers of nurse satisfaction are formal complaints the nurse files, surveys of satisfaction, how long a nurse remains in that particular workplace, and sick calls.
