A nurse in an acute care setting is serving on a committee whose charge is to use the auditing process to client care. Which of the following aspects of client care is measured by an outcome audit?

The correct answer is A because an outcome audit measures the results or outcomes of client care, such as the incidence of catheter-induced urinary tract infections. This type of audit evaluates the effectiveness of the care provided and focuses on patient outcomes. Choices B and C are incorrect as they pertain to process audits, which assess how care is delivered and the availability of resources, respectively. Choice D is incorrect because it is too broad and does not specifically address a measurable outcome. Choices E, F, and G are not provided, but they would likely be incorrect unless they specifically relate to measurable outcomes of client care.
