  2. HIPAA Breach?

    Hello, Looking for your opinion regarding this scenario and if it constitutes a breach. My co worker asked me to quickly look up a lab value on one of her patients as I was signed into my meditech and she wasn't near a computer. The patient is on the...
  3. Medication Error?

    I made a silly med error that I am feeling anxious about. I did my checks (obviously not very well) but accidentally gave a patient an aspirin at 1000 instead of its scheduled 1700. This medication is only ordered once daily. I know that no harm will...

    My anxiety is debilitating me right now and I would like some advice. Yesterday I was nearing the end of my shift and was clueing up my work. We had a new patient come up to the floor with query TB. I did not know this at the time. I went into the ro...
