Answer to Question 1

C
The FOCUS methodology uses a stepwise process for how to move through the improvement process.
The five steps involved are 1) focus on an improvement idea, 2) organize a team that knows the work
process, 3) clarify the current process, 4) understand the degree of change needed, and 5) solution
(select a solution for improvement).

Answer to Question 2

A
The plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycle, a process improvement tool, starts with three questions: 1) What
are we trying to accomplish?, 2) How will we know that a change is an improvement?, and 3) What
changes can we make that will result in improvement?
