  1. A bariatric center wants to compare its leak rate after sleeve gastrectomy with risk-adjusted national data. Which resource provides this benchmarking?

    Answer: MBSAQIP semiannual report

    MBSAQIP provides participating centers with risk-adjusted semiannual reports for benchmarking outcomes against national data.

  2. Which quality improvement model uses the sequence Plan-Do-Study-Act to test changes on a small scale?

    Answer: PDSA cycle

    The PDSA cycle is an iterative rapid-cycle improvement method for testing changes before broad implementation.

  3. A patient develops a wrong-site surgical error during a bariatric procedure. How is this event classified for reporting purposes?

    Answer: Sentinel event

    Wrong-site surgery is a sentinel event, a serious occurrence requiring immediate investigation and response.

  4. Which proactive tool should a bariatric team use to identify potential failure points in a new enhanced recovery (ERAS) protocol before implementing it?

    Answer: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

    FMEA prospectively identifies where a process could fail and prioritizes risks before harm occurs.

  5. A bariatric nurse notices a colleague documenting vital signs that were never taken. What is the nurse's primary obligation?

    Answer: Report the falsification through the facility's chain of command or incident reporting system

    Falsification of records is fraud and a patient safety risk that must be reported through official channels.

  6. Which requirement must a hospital meet under CMS Conditions of Participation regarding quality for bariatric and all inpatient programs?

    Answer: Maintain an ongoing, data-driven Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program

    CMS Conditions of Participation require hospitals to operate an effective, ongoing, hospital-wide QAPI program.

  7. In evaluating compliance with VTE prophylaxis orders on the bariatric unit, the nurse audits 30 charts and finds 24 compliant. What is the compliance rate?

    Answer: 80%

    24 compliant charts divided by 30 audited charts equals 80%.
