Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The focus of TJC is quality and safety for patient care. TJC does not address cost containment, assessment of care, or evaluation of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Excellent services, communication, collaboration, and culturally competent care brings quality to the health care delivered to the patient. Private hospital rooms may be a preference by some patients, but they do not add to the quality of care.
