A 75-year-old client had surgery for a hip fracture yesterday. The client is under stress as a result of pain, sleep deprivation, and the hospital environment. The nurse caring for the client implements a proactive approach to pain management.

In addition to improved patient outcomes, how else might the hospital benefit from the nurse's actions?
A.) Additional funding from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
B.) Improved Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey scores
C.) Continued accreditation from The Joint Commission
