Did you employ any critical thinking or resolution strategies to determine a response? Did you rely on policy or legal parameters to make your decisions?

Please share additional thoughts as well. Discussion Prompt #2 Identify examples of active and latent errors. Provide examples from your clinical experience, if possible.
