NURS FPX 4000 Assessment 2 Applying Research Skills

 

An annotated bibliography is a list of sources supplemented by evaluating each book listed. Including commentary lays the groundwork for future study by providing the reader or researcher with crucial background knowledge. Explaining the substance of your sources, evaluating their value, and communicating this information with others who may be less familiar with them are all signs that you have become an expert in your field of study. The list of the books and articles mentioned above is pretty self-explanatory. The surveys were conducted in a few of the articles mentioned above to let future researchers know where healthcare professionals stand when they think about medical errors. The articles and books mentioned in this annotated bibliography are from 2018-2022. They ensure that the researchers can find all the information necessary to build one’s foundation about medical errors, solutions, and ethical principles. For example, the following points were learned from the above-annotated bibliography.

1. Quantitative surveys, for instance, were found to be preferred because of their flexibility in accommodating various strategies for participant recruiting and data collecting by using multiple tools. 
2. Many factors contribute to medical mistakes, including disobedience to established safety measures, insufficient knowledge of medications and lack of patient information, lack of necessary equipment, time constraints, stress, and fatigue on the part of doctors. 
3. It is argued that honesty, confidentiality, and the right to be left in the dark during the informed consent process all rest on a bedrock of autonomy. 

Conclusion

Medical errors are pretty common all over the world. They are of different types, such as wrong administration of drugs, wrong dosage, and wrong drips, and all these errors affect the patient tremendously. Medical errors should be addressed adequately, and the organization should provide a solution using the root cause analysis method. A unified decision should be taken, keeping in mind the ethics that revolve around medical errors. The articles and books mentioned in this annotated bibliography are what the researcher needs to move forward.
