Root cause analysis

You are the nurse manager on an intensive care unit. The unit was exceptionally busy as you had a call in from a nurse and your certified nursing assistants was pulled to another unit. Nurse Bonnie has 3 patients that day due to the call in. She was about to deliver medications when she received a call from a physician that needed to change orders on a very critical patient. Bonnie looked for another nurse to take the order, but there were none available. Everyone was very busy. So she left the pyxis and went to answer the phone. She went back to Patient A’s room and administered the medication.

About an hour later, Nurse Bonnie comes to you and tells you she gave the medication for Patient B to Patient A. She had checked on the patient and there were no adverse reactions. You report this incident to quality and call the patient A’s physician to report the error. Since there were no adverse reactions, the doctor said to continue to report this to Quality. The Quality and the Legal department call you to do an Root Cause Analysis(RCA) on the situation. They told you to do the investigation on the incident. During your investigation of the incident, you find out the nurse did not have the order sheet with her when she went to the pyxis. After the phone call, she went into the patient’s room and gave the medication. After the phone call, she went into the patient’s room and gave the medication. When you talked to the nurse, she admitted she inadvertently put Patient B’s medication in her pocket and answered the phone call. She then went to Patient A’s room and administered the medication.

  • What patient safety goal(s) were violated?
  • What would you report in the Root Cause Analysis as the cause?
  • How would you prevent this happening the next time?
  • What actions are taken against the nurse?

Important distinguishing features of mitochondria

Important distinguishing features of mitochondria include:

1. Use of protons and electrons from food components to make the high-energy molecule ATP
2. They carry out the process of oxidative phosphorylation
3. They contain enzyme complexes I–V that make it the ‘power house’ of the cell
4. All of the above

Oxidation of proteins

  1. Oxidation of proteins is serious because if not repaired:
    1. Metabolism is slowed
    2. Cross-linkage binds proteins together
    3. Cells fail to respond to signals
    4. All of the above

Discuss one type of gene that would require 2 “positive transcription factors”

Discuss one type of gene that would require 2 “positive transcription factors” to function effectively and economically.

 

-Give an example a situation where gene expression without regulation could potentially harm the organism.

Z codes in primary diagnosis

Discuss two Z codes that would be used by doctors reported only as of the primary diagnosis. If there are any exceptions to this, list them. Then give a specific example of when these codes would be used.
