Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
A nursing-sensitive patient outcome is sensitive because it is influenced by nursing care decisions and actions. It may not be caused by nursing, but is associated with nursing. In various situations, nursing might be the individual nurse, nurses as a working group, the approach to nursing practice, the nursing unit, the institution that determines numbers of nurses, salaries, educational levels of nurses, assignments of nurses, workload of nurses, management of nurses, and policies related to nurses and nursing practice. It might even include the architecture of the nursing unit. In whatever form, nursing actions have a role in the outcome, even though acts of other professionals, organizational acts, and patient characteristics and behaviors often are involved in the outcome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
One source of samples used for outcomes studies is large databases. Two broad categories of databases emerge from patient care encounters: clinical databases and administrative databases. Clinical databases are created by providers such as hospitals, HMOs, and healthcare professionals.
