responsibility. When a medication error occurs‚ ethical issues such as a loss of human dignity‚ fidelity and beneficence also occur‚ which leads to patient dissatisfaction and mistrust. Social issues often interplay with any sort of medical error as well. Medication errors often result in damaged social relations such as the nurse-patient relationship and the healthcare system’s image. When nurses make a medication error they are obligated to report their mistake to the charge nurse‚ the patient

In this paper‚ I am going to be comparing two different articles about medication errors by nurses. Medication errors happen way too often and I hope that by writing this paper‚ I can help reduce my chance or someone else’s chance of making a medication error. The first medication error article that I read was about a male patient in Florida. The patient was complaining of an upset stomach so the physician prescribed an antacid. Instead of giving the patient an antacid‚ that nurse gave the patient

however‚ sometimes we actually remember a misrepresentation of what’s really occurred. This is known as the misinformation effect‚ where misleading information distorts our memory of the true event. Important in a variety of aspects‚ these memory errors become especially crucial in terms of courtrooms and eyewitness testimony. Interestingly‚ 75% of false convictions are due to an eyewitness identifying the wrong person or misreporting how an event actually occurred. Witnesses aren’t intentionally

1. Describe how the fundamental attribution error affects how we think of ourselves and of others. The Fundamental Attribution Error refers to the tendency to over estimate the internal and underestimates the external factors when explaining the behaviors of others. This may be a result of our tendency to pay more attention to the situation rather than to the individual‚ and is especially true when we know little about the other person. 2.

results were compared to the data of the first bead set to look for any systematic errors that may have occurred. During the experiment‚ the data was used to see whether the diameter‚ mass‚ and density were constant between the individual beads. However‚ the main goal of the experiment was to answer the question of whether or not individual density average agreed with the bulk density. Analysis Through error analysis‚ the data found was used to determine if the calculated densities were the

Perceptual Maps Simulation I found this simulation to be very interesting. First of all‚ it was about motorcycles‚ and what guy doesn ’t find that to be an interesting topic? Regarding the lessons it contained for marketing though‚ it was also interesting while still being entertaining as well. The situations it presented were realistic‚ while not being so overcomplicated that the material it was trying to present got lost. In the following paper I will discuss the situations from the simulation

Humans perform perceptual categorization through the processes of visual recognition and attentional selection \cite{tva}. A perceptual categorization has the form ``$x$ belongs to $i$" (denoted by $ E(x‚i) $‚ $ E(x‚i) \in [0‚1] $ )‚ where $x$ is an input element in the visual field to be categorized (called \textit{perceptual units}) and $ i $ is a \textit{perceptual category}. The collection of all perceptual units is denoted by $ S $ and the collection of all categories is denoted by $ R $
