Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The final step in the audit process involves determining whether problems uncovered in an audit have been eliminated. Selecting explicit criteria for quality care is the second step of the process. Reviewing the records is the third step of the process. Completing a peer review for all cases that do not meet criteria is the fourth step of the process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
One reason for using a concurrent audit rather than a retrospective audit is that it identifies prob-lems at the time that care is given. A concurrent audit is more costly to implement than a retro-spective audit. Because the intervention is ongoing, it does not present the total picture of the outcomes of the intervention that the client will ultimately receive. A retrospective audit provides more accurate data for planning corrective action.
