Answer to Question 1

B
By gathering data on his patient's pain status, Nurse Q has been acting according to the doing phase of the PDSA cycle. In the studying phase, Nurse Q would study the findings for this patient and others to help determine what processes might be improved to enhance pain management for the unit. In the acting phase, Nurse Q would implement the process improvement changes for pain management as decided by the pain management group for the unit and the health care provider. In the planning phase, Nurse Q would ask initial questions in order to plan appropriate care.

Addressed the social and economic influences on health and illness
