Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. There is no one source for continuing education credit for all healthcare professions.
2. This is the current status, though there is criticism of this approach.
3. Continuing education may be provided through an academic institution, but the credit is received through a continuing education source, approved by that source.
4. The government does not currently provide continuing education credit.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Nurses document most of the variances because they have the most contact with the patient. This is not a legal concern.

3. Following the pathway does not relieve the provider from the responsibility of providing quality care.
4. Pathway developers have been named in liability cases.
