  • Technique Error 3
  • Wrong Time 83
  • Dose Missed 92
  • Under Dose 7
  • Duplicated Drug 9
  • Wrong Route 27
  • Wrong Calculation 16

n = 429

Instructions:

  • Use Excel or any charting tool to build your Pareto chart.
  • Identify the most frequent error types and how they contribute to the overall issue.
  • Explain the significance of the chart and how the 80/20 principle applies in this case.
  • Offer suggestions for corrective actions based on the findings.

Requirements:

  • There is no minimum or maximum required number of pages. Your response will be considered complete, if it addresses each of the components outlined above.
  • Use of proper APA formatting and citations – If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. A minimum of 3 -5 sources (excluding the course textbook) from scholarly articles or business periodicals is required.
