Discussion Prompt #1
Reflect upon the survey you took. In your initial response,
address some of the following questions. Explain your answers.
Did you find it easy to make confident and decisive
decisions with several strongly agree or strongly disagree answers, or did you
select mostly moderate responses?
Did any subject areas trigger personal emotions or
issues? If so, do you feel you were able
to remain objective?
Were any of the decisions especially difficult to make?
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?
Would you be comfortable making your answers to the survey
public, or do you prefer anonymity?
Have you dealt with similar situations and could you
perceive similar situations occurring in your clinical practice?
How might a moral inventory such as this survey impact your
clinical practice?
Please share additional thoughts as well.
Discussion Prompt #2
Identify examples of active and latent errors. Provide
examples from your clinical experience, if possible. How can such errors be
avoided to support better patient care?
