Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Support staff (housekeeping) who do not provide direct care to patients are considered indirect costs and come from the operating budget and not the personnel budget. The other employee po-sitions will have direct care responsibilities to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Adherence to the performance standards set by TJC should lead to better patient outcomes. Op-tions B and C may result from accreditation but there are no data to support this. Option D is in-correct because accreditation should have the opposite effect.
