To prevent dispensing of the wrong medications or similar problems, we double check the National Drug Codes (NDCs) to make sure they match appropriately. Walter Jessen explains to us from studies conducted by 20/20 “The overall error rate was 22% and included too many or too few pills, faulty and missing instructions on the labeling, and failure to put a childproof cap on one prescription.” (Jessen 4). We all must be as accurate as possible in doing medication orders for every patient. Not only does this job require good rates of accuracy, but being able to work in a fast paced environment and under…
There are several errors in judgment that individuals make on a day to day basis. Everyone is guilty of making these errors regardless of their background, education, and life experiences. The common errors of judgment found in humans that I chose are Snap Judgment, Projection, and Sweeping Generalizations (Bethel University, 2013). Snap Judgment is a common error that I recognize or experience probably most often. An example would be the cop shootings on “innocent citizens”. The media and…
The results from the experiment generally show the trials with full light intensity to have produced more oxygen, showing the elodea samples to have photosynthesised more than the lower light intensity trials. Trials 1 and 2 were in water bath 1 with full light intensity, whereas Trials 3 and 4 were in water bath 2, with lower light intensity. Experimental error caused the trials with the lower light intensity to be disrupted, and no data was collected for these trials on Day 8 of the…
Human error is prevalent throughout all of life. Even when presented with the easiest of instructions, humans tend to mess it up. Though many of these mistakes come from failure or misunderstandings, there are other instances in which over-analysis comes into play. In Victor Hugo’s novel, Les Miserables, we are introduced to one such character. This man’s name was Jean Valjean. Although a former convict, Valjean was presented with an opportunity to change his life for the better. Very few…
At my practicum, there are several opportunities for a counselor to make a mistake. However, the mistakes can be easily corrected, and most of the time the person on the other end of the phone or computer will not be phased by a slip up. The forgiveness of the mess up does not make it okay, because as social workers we should strive to always provide the best services for our clients. When I think of decisions I have made that were flawed, I immediately think of a chat session I had last week…
at describing and expressing my own feeling and experience. This assignment was a detailed version of my photo essay. The TA feedback from the photo essay guided me to explore extra areas in my scout experience. Despite no peer reviews, TA’s opinion helped me a lot in writing this assignment. I reviewed the essay after the first submission, I have addressed my common errors and change some wordings. At the same time, I deleted some unrelated and redundant information to my experience in…
Accidents happen, yes. But it keeps re-occuring over the last decades or so. Also the cause of accidents are very similar to each other, mainly due to systematic failures, human errors and such. How come we still fail to learn from the causes to prevent it form happenening again? There are a lot of reasearch that shows how human errors and systematic failures cause accidents. Over the last 40 years or so, the shipping industry has focused on improving ship structures, reliability and safety of…
abide, but thats human nature. We all make mistakes and the only determination of whether or not any disciplinary action takes place is whether or not we get caught. That being said, its not about getting caught or being reprimanded. The only thing that matters is knowing before you make that mistake that what you are about to do is wrong and being able to stop. The saying, “nobody is perfect” really is true. I have been blessed with strong supporters and great guidance throughout my whole…
live, they constantly question if life would be different if that mistake never happened. Curiosity is especially evident in “Christmas with Grandfather” and “The Unknown Errors of Our Lives” by Chitra…
I believe in mistakes because not everyone is perfect and i don't think you need to be perfect because why be perfect when u can go and try new things not drugs or alcohol i think that if your motto is to be perfect you shouldn't live that way because you will never get to live life the way you really want to because you can't or you well be afraid to do things if you are trying to life a perfect life like i think the criminals in jail should deserve a second chance just because they killed…
