Of those errors, 65% are clinical judgment errors. Clinical judgment errors can mean failure to: Recognize cues in your patients Analyze those cues and form hypotheses correctly (which should also mean knowing what negative outcomes to anticipate) Determine best actions to take and then taking those actions in optimum time measure Follow those steps with evaluation for and recognition of outcomes, which should begin the process again Is that the type of nurse YOU want to be?
