Topic 4 DQ 2

Read the scenario and address the discussion question:

Scenario

You are a member of an interdisciplinary team participating in patient rounds at the start of your shift. You notice the physician charting that the patient is alert and oriented x3, but the patient was clearly confused, which the physician acknowledged during rounds.

Discussion Question

How would you approach this scenario? Apply one of the ethical principles discussed in Dynamics of Nursing: Art and Science of Professional Practice to this scenario. Discuss how organizational culture can help manage errors.

Please do not provide so much research and instead, support the research, by using your own analysis and examples. How can you tie what you are writing into clinical examples you and your RN team face each day?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.
