Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The focus of CQI is quality of care, as indicated by patient outcomes. CQI does not focus on saving time, agency profit, or stress reduction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
OBRA regulations call for all nursing assistants to be certified. Permitting an uncertified employee to perform the duties of a CNA violates OBRA regulations. Allowing a son to feed his father is permissible. Scheduling a nursing assistant to attend a 2-hour in-service training session and notifying the RN supervisor that a nursing assistant needs additional training are appropriate.
