Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The top goal of any quality improvement program is to improve client outcomes of care. Increasing the RN staff, purchasing new equipment, and installing cameras may be found to be means to reach that goal, but studies must first be conducted to identify those means.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D

The mutual recognition model of nurse licensure allows a nurse to have a single license that confers the privilege to practice in other states that are part of the Nurse Licensure Compact. The nurse is held accountable for following the laws and rules of the state in which the nurse practices or where the client is located. It is similar to the driver's license model: A single license to drive is issued in the state of primary residency, but this license also allows the privilege to drive in other compact states. Multistate licensure privilege means the authority to practice nursing in another state that has signed an interstate compact. It is not an additional license.
