Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Incident reports are used for internal review and improvements to systems. They include detailed descriptions of the event in question. They do not become part of the client's health record. They are often provided to outside agencies, but they do not bypass the institution where the event occurred. Clients and their families do not sign incident reports.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Meeting with the family exemplifies client-centered care. Evidence-based practice includes research evidence as well as client preferences. Safety is a QSEN competency, as is informatics (the effective use of technology). Financial concerns of the health care institution are not included among the six QSEN competencies.
