Answer to Question 1

D
A nursing audit is a review of the client's care, intervention and education outcomes, client problems that either were resolved or continue, and instructions about medications, diet, activity, treatments, and follow-up to ensure that the most appropriate care was provided and to ensure all physician orders were carried out.

Answer to Question 2

C
Review of medical records is also conducted by peer review organizations to monitor and evaluate the quality and appropriateness of care. When information contained in these records is in compliance with standards for Medicare and Medicaid, the health care facility meets standards for reimbursement, including the use of equipment or procedures performed.
