Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The implementation of eMARs is an example of a first-level change. Previously, medications were documented using a paper system, not an electronic system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Implementing BCMA would be a second-level change. The implementation of BCMA has not only changed how medications are documented, but it has actually changed the process of medication administration.
