Answer to Question 1

A
Accountability-based care delivery systems focus upon roles, their relationship to the work being
done, and the goals or outcomes they are to achieve. Elements of this type of system are that
accountability is about outcomes, not processes, is individually defined, is inherent in the role, is not
delegated, and is the foundation for evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

C
The four stages of the Bassett Healthcare Professional Nursing Pathway model are Stage I, novice;
Stage II, competent; Stage III, proficient; and Stage IV, expert. While being a preceptor for either
clinical or managerial tasks can be an example of a proficient or expert individual who has been
selected to train others, it is not one of the stages of this particular model.
