In an emergency department, a nurse inadvertently administers a higher dose of medication than prescribed due to a miscommunication. Following the incident, which approach by the nurse's manager best exemplifies the principles of Just Culture?
Issuing a formal warning to the nurse and documenting the error in her personal file.
Ignoring the incident as no harm occurred to the patient.
Reporting the incident for systemic review and focusing on process improvements.
Immediate suspension of the nurse pending a formal investigation.
Reporting the incident for systemic review emphasizes the Just Culture principle of learning from mistakes to enhance systems and processes, rather than assigning individual blame. This approach helps in identifying why the error occurred and how similar errors can be prevented in the future, thus fostering a learning environment and promoting open communication.
