Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
TQM is a management philosophy that focuses on the statistical processes by which to assess work done with the goal of organization-wide quality effectiveness. TQM examines multiple as-pects of an organization, more than only cost-efficient or cost-effective care, and looks at multi-ple aspects of care delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
PPM and MAUT are types of planning methods. The sustainability and effectiveness methods are parts of the PPM. Sustainability is an evaluation method to determine if there are resources available to continue the program. Effectiveness is an evaluation method to determine if the pro-gram is able to meet its objectives and to evaluate the results of program efforts. A population needs assessment is one of the first steps in program planning but does not describe the entire process of program planning.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
