Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. A concurrent audit is conducted during the clients course of care and examines care being
given to achieve a desired outcome and recommends change as needed. A peer review occurs
when practicing nurses determine the standards and criteria that indicate quality care and then
assess performance against these standards. Utilization reviews are based on the appropriate
allocation of resources and are not specifically directed at nursing care. A retrospective audit is
conducted after a clients discharge and involves examination of a large number of cases.
