Wait, are they really using external standards more? Sounds off.

This question is as clear as mud. I need to stop studying and go grab a snack. Maybe the vending machine can shed some light on this internal/external dilemma.

Ah, the age-old battle of internal vs. external standards. I wonder if the exam writers have a sense of humor and will throw in a trick question about "internal/external" standards for a health plan's cafeteria menu.

I feel like external standards are definitely used for comparisons, but I’m confused about the second part. Could it be B) Internal / external?

I remember that external standards are often based on industry benchmarks, so I think the first term should be external.

I feel pretty good about this one. The key is understanding the difference between internal and external standards. Internal are the health plan's own, and external are industry-wide. I'll select B) Internal / external.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to double-check my understanding. The internal standards are the health plan's own standards, and the external standards are based on industry information. I'll go with B) to be safe.

Okay, I've read the question a few times and I think I've got it. The internal standards are based on the health plan's own information, while the external standards are based on industry-wide data. I'm confident that B) Internal / external is the correct answer.

I think the first pair of terms refers to standards that are based on the health plan's own data and practices, while the second pair refers to standards that are based on external industry information. So I'll go with B) Internal / external.
