ANSWER

ANS: 3
A quality indicator for evaluating the manner in which care is delivered is a process indicator. Structure indicators evaluate the structure or systems for delivering care; an example is adherence to checking if emergency carts are adequately stocked. There is no team indicator. Client indica-tors would actually be outcome indicators. Outcome indicators evaluate the end result of care delivered.
