Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

When evaluating outcomes, the goal is positive changes in patient outcomes that impact healthcare quality. Smoking cessation in the patient with chronic obstructive lung disease would be a positive change that impacts the quality of healthcare. Using emergency bronchodilators indicates that the patient is poorly controlled. Stating that antibiotics are to be taken until symptoms subside indicates the need for additional teaching about infection control measures. Adverse effects of medications are not to be expected. This indicates that additional teaching is required.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Cross-sectional data collection occurs at one point in time. Prospective data collection is the collection of data about variables that are occurring at the time of the data collection. Longitudinal data collection occurs at two or more points in time. Retrospective is the collection of data about variables that have already occurred.
