o Would it be useful to identify the core issue of the risk being addressed? In the month of July, 4 teams noted inability to safely evacuate from the home. Although this is risk, it is unclear why. If teams were to implement the 5 why’s, could they drill down to the core issue. For example, if the inability to evacuate was due to mobility, could we identify DME to mitigate that risk.

A triage means “ to assort...sorted according to their injuries and physical condition, with the aim of prioritizing those who should be treated first” ( Andersson et al.136). Circumstances at Memorial Hospital were terrible, “ the workload was high and sometimes, practical decisions must be made” (Andersson et al.140). The workload at Memorial was high because they lacked many resources they were relying on to keep patients alive and comfortable. For example, they had no electricity. Having no electricity lead to the elevators not working, and the staff were not able to bring patients up to the helipad for rescue.
Hence, this is a sentimental event because this unanticipated event resulted in death to a patient, not related to the natural source of the patient's illness. Therefore, the threat and error management model should be used to determine both training needs and organizational strategies to improve the management of threats to safety. What defenses in the system failed in this case? Can you construct a Swiss cheese analysis of the system defenses and what occurred?

This quote says he doesn't care if someone doesn't want to do something or not.
With the use of consistent handoff tools, there is likely not a missing piece of information that leaves the receiving nurse with gaps in any information. The inconsistency of use of different tools such as SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) or electronic handoff methods is where information gets lost. The use of SBAR is commonly used to maintain uniform communication. In example of the use of SBAR against the situation mention earlier, the known history of imprisonment with bloody sputum were not mentioned in the background or assessment piece of handoff. Not only did this impact patient safety but also the safety of nursing staff.
Recognizing, acknowledging, and understanding medication safety is important when administering medications. Understanding which medications are high-risk ones, being familiar with the medications being given, remembering the five most important rights when administering medications, communicating clearly, developing checking habits, and reporting the medication errors will lead to safe outcomes for the residents. However, errors do occur from a lack of experience, rushing, distractions, fatigue, doing too many things at once, not double checking, poor communication, and lack of team work. It is not only the staff that commit errors, but also the work environment that contributes to the medication error. Two examples are poor reporting systems
(Joint Commissions, 2014).It is important for nurses to explain how to use the call light to the elderly patients, and also to ask for help before getting out of bed. Vulnerable patients should be placed close to the nursing station for close monitoring. It is very important to educate health care workers on the approaches used to prevent falls. The measures used to prevent falls in the elderly could include; carrying out a risk assessment during admission, placing colorful stickers outside their doors, stopping the use of psychotropic medications, teaching them the best way to use their assistive device, placing their call light and belonging within their reach, placing their beds in the lowest position with brakes /wheels locked at all times, removing throw rugs from their surroundings, making sure that they are wearing non-skid shoes/socks before ambulating and also giving them their prescribed Vitamin D supplement as well as encouraging them on the use of their corrective glasses or hearing aids. It is very important to educate health care workers on the approaches used to prevent
Reflection on Medication Administration Description (Competency 3j) I have looked over my moral development regarding medicine administration and have noticed there is the need for improved and has been agreed with my mentor to write a piece of reflection to identify areas of concern Feelings One of the major concern is the pace of dispensing and the time spent used to open charts and allocate them is one of my weakness. Although I am learner I need to back up the pace of dispensing so that patient doesn 't feel my skills is dull or boring and waste of time. I Had developed that feeling of being extra careful to avoid drug error and that makes me feel slightly nervous more also being under the influence of supervision as well. Evaluation
1) If Toyota is not the cause of unintended acceleration, why was it blamed for it? Last quarter of 2009 The leading Toyota motor corporation has faced disaster in their products because of unexpected quality issues, so to overcome in their fault they issued huge formal recall of their products all over the world.

J W Maher 's List of Tramore Shipwrecks 1816-58 The following list, compiled by J W Maher, First Secretary to the Lifeboat, from contemporary notes "taken upon each occasion of Wreck," was originally published in the Waterford Mirror and Tramore Visitor, 4 December 1874 and later edited by Maurice J Wigham and republished in Decies, The Journal of the Old Waterford society, no 12, September 1979. The list, while highly useful, appears to be quite inaccurate, many of the ships are misnamed and wrecks are often incorrectly dated, sometimes by several years. There are several important omissions and the present writer is as of yet unable to locate any primary evidence for many of vessels included.
