Question

After a procedure has been completed, what questions can be asked to help evaluate the results? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is

B, C, and D. That is:

B) Were the steps completed in order?

C) What could be done differently in the future?

D) Was the expected outcome reached?

Explanation:

Completing the steps in the right order means that the possibility of errors is near zero.

Identifying what can be done differently in the future is a question that seeks to highlight areas of improvement over what has been done.

Whether or not the expected outcome was reached is the litmus test of success for the procedure. It doesn't matter whether or not everything was done right. If the objective was not attained, there is need to find out why. In fact, this question needs to come first before all others.

Depending on the nature of the procedure, the question about who else has completed the procedure may become relevant. An example is in medicine. If a patient indicates that a particular medication has been tried, or a particular surgical procedure has been carried, out before, it helps to narrow the options on the table to the next best possible alternative or solution. Hence making for better decision making.
