The nurse manager is educating a new hire on The Joint Commission (TJC). The manager tells the new hire that TJC mandates the use of continuous quality improvement and measurement of specific quality outcomes for patients with certain diagnoses
The teaching has been effective when the new hire states: a. "These mandates include patients admit-ted with Acute MI and COPD.".
b. "Outcomes measures are mandated for patients with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure and brain attack.".
c. "Acute renal failure and deep vein thrombosis have mandated outcomes by The Joint Commission.".
d. "Outcome measures are mandated for pa-tients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia and congestive heart failure.".
D
TJC mandates outcome measures for patients admitted with a diagnosis of acute MI, congestive heart failure, community-acquired pneumonia, surgical infection prophylaxis, pregnancy-related conditions, and deep vein thrombosis. Keep in mind that each item in the option must be correct for the option to be correct, which is the reason acute MI and COPD as well as congestive heart failure and brain attack are incorrect.
