Answer to Question 1

C
Pain management standards as set forth in the 2006 Joint Commission's Comprehensive Accreditation
Manual for Hospitals: The Official Handbook (CAMH) include respect for patient values, beliefs,
preferences and dignity; pain assessment in all patients; data collection to monitor effectiveness of pain
management; and patient rights to pain management. Reassessment may be used as one of the means
of gathering data to evaluate the effectiveness of care, but it should be postponed according to
specified time frames for medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

A
The gap analysis examines the space between where the organization is and where it wants to be, an
assessment of the differences between the expected magnet requirements and the organization's
current performance on these requirements.
