Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

Quality assurance programs focus on three types of evaluation: structure, process, and outcome. Outcome evaluation focuses on measurable changes in the health status of clients, such as a 2 reduction in the number of repeat admissions for clients who underwent hip replacement surgery. Structure evaluation focuses on the environment in which care is provided, whereas process evaluation focuses on the nature and sequence of activities carried out by implementing the nursing process. There is no design evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

Assessing the client's response to a diuretic medication is an example of evaluation. During assessment, the nurse collects and synthesizes data to identify patterns. The nurse establishes desired outcomes with the client and family during the outcome identification and planning stage. The nurse initiates activities to achieve the desired outcomes during the implementation stage.
