Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Filling out an incident report correctly is an example of a skill that aligns with the QSEN competency of safety. Valuing and appreciating are indications of a nurse's attitude, not skills. Understanding is an indication of knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Sentinel events must be reported to the Joint Commission and to relevant state agencies. Sentinel events are not normally publicized, and incident reports are not provided to the ANA. Matters related to financial compensation would likely involve the courts, not the Joint Commission or health agencies.
