Question 1 of 5
A nurse is serving on a continuous quality improvement (CQI) committee that has been assigned to develop a program to reduce the number of medication administration errors following a sentinel event at the facility. Which of the following strategies should the committee plan to initiate first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Review the events leading up to each medication administration error. This is the first strategy the committee should initiate because it helps identify root causes of errors. By conducting a thorough review of the events leading up to each error, the committee can identify systemic issues, communication breakdowns, and other factors contributing to errors. This information is crucial for developing targeted interventions to prevent future errors.
Choice B is incorrect because competency testing alone may not address underlying system issues leading to errors.
Choice C is incorrect because focusing solely on nurses involved in errors may overlook broader system issues.
Choice D, providing an inservice, is also not as effective as reviewing events leading to errors, as it may not address specific causes of errors.
