the preparation strategy?
a. Conduct a root cause analysis
b. Conduct a failure modes and effects analysis
c. Offer a "plan, do, study, act" session
d. Offer to do a claims analysis for any related errors
Correct Answerb. Conduct a failure modes and effects analysis
Correct Answer
A new cath lab is under construction in our hospital, and the

analysis and calculate a risk priority number (RPN). After a
targeted medication safety program on the new process was
delivered to nurses, the same team convened to perform another
FMEA. The team would be happy to see:
a. The detectability increased and RPNs were lower
b. The detectability decreased and RPNs were lower
