Multiple Choice
1. Which Of The Following Is A Term Used To Describe A Philosophy Of Risk
Identification And System Of Injury Prevention?
A. Risk Management
B. Fiduciary Relationship
C. Virtue
D. Deontology
ANS: A
The Term Risk Management Also Is Applied To Other Areas Of Private And Public
Business But Is Most Frequently Used In Health Care. Management, As Part Of The
Term, Means That Once Risk Is Identified, It Is Measured For The Seriousness Of The
Potential Outcome And The Likelihood Of Its Occurrence. A Strategy Is Then Created
To Handle The Risk In Such A Way As To Minimize It Or, In Some Cases, To Eliminate
It Altogether. A Fiduciary Relationship Is Part Of Contract Law. Character Or Virtue
And The Goodness Of A Person In Living A Good Life Are Acquired By A Person
Through Learning And Reflection And Repetition. Deontology Is No Consequentialist
Ethics.
(B) Fiduciary Relationship: This Is Part Of Contract Law And Describes A Relationship
Of Trust, Not Risk Prevention.
(C) Virtue: Refers To Moral Excellence And The Goodness Of Character Learned
Through Reflection And Repetition, Not Risk Analysis.
(D) Deontology: Refers To No consequentialist Ethics That Focus On Duties And Rules
Rather Than Outcomes; Not Related To Risk Prevention.
Dif: Recall Ref: P. 101 Obj: 1
,Top: 7.0 Professional Responsibility | 7.4 General

Patients, Because The Clinicians Have Determined That Extensive Risk Factors Are
Associated With Those Procedures.

B. Both The Statement And Reason Are Correct But Not Related.
C. The Statement Is Correct, But The Reason Is Not.
D. The Statement Is Not Correct, But The Reason Is Correct.
E. Neither The Statement Nor The Reason Is Correct.
ANS: A
The Liability Associated With Complex Oral Surgery Procedures May Be Too
Significant, Thus Making The Risk Greater Than The Benefit To The Dental Practice. In
These Cases The Risk Management Strategy Is The Removal Of Such A Procedure From
The Scope Of Care Delivery.
(B) Incorrect Because The Statement And Reason Are Related; The Reason Directly
Supports The Decision Described.
(C) Incorrect Because The Reason Is Correct; The High Risk Is Indeed The Justification
For Avoiding Complex Surgeries.
(D) Incorrect Because Both The Statement And The Reason Are Correct.
(E) Incorrect Because Both Parts Are Accurate And Related.
Dif: Recall Ref: P. 102 Obj: 1

,D. The First Statement Is False, The Second Statement Is True.

Management.

D. The Reports Should Be Retained In The Patient Record.
ANS: D
These Reports Should Not Be Retained In The Patient Record But Rather Filed In A Risk
Management Portfolio. An Incident Reporting System Permits The Systemic Tracking Of
Adverse Events. A Clear Understanding Of The Risk Exposure Of A Practice Provides
An Opportunity For Targeted Problem Solving.
, (A) Correct For Incident Reporting—Every Accident Or Unusual Occurrence Should Be
Documented.
(B) Correct—Reports Should Cover Patient Care, Management, And Complaint-Related
Issues.
(C) Correct—Reports Should Be Factual And Detailed To Support Objective Analysis.
Dif: Recall Ref: P. 102 Obj: 2

B. An Ongoing Evaluation System That Focuses On Patterns Of Behavior

For All Accidents Or Unusual Incidents
D. A Report That Focuses On Facts Rather Than Subjective Assessments
ANS: B
The Purpose Of A Quality Improvement Program Is To Assess The Patient Care Delivery
System Systematically And Continuously Through The Collection And Analysis Of
Reliable Information. It Focuses On Patterns Of Behavior Rather Than On Isolated
Instances Of Behavior. It Is A Mechanism For Assessing The Quality Of Care And
Implementing And Evaluating Changes In The Patient Care Delivery System To
Maintain Or Improve The Quality Of Care.
(A) Incorrect—Systemic Tracking Of Adverse Events Is Characteristic Of Incident
Reporting Systems, Not Qi Programs.
(C) Incorrect—Completing A Report For Every Accident Is Part Of Incident Reporting,
Not Qi Evaluation.
(D) Incorrect—Focusing On Factual Reporting Relates To Incident Documentation
Rather Than The Broader Qi Process.
