Cevap
The infusion pump error is an Active error; the identical packaging is a Latent error; the wrong-site surgery is a Sentinel event; the intercepted medication order is a Near miss.
Each scenario accurately matches a distinct category within the patient safety error taxonomy based on its origin, proximity to the patient, and ultimate outcome.
