calculated for the effective permittivity were close and did not have an number that was wrong and was due to error. The literature value shows that the value found in the lab has error in involved, but is accurate enough to be considered. The Loaded Quality (Q) Factor from equation 2, calculated from the experiment was QL= 45.51and the class average was QL= 41.2. It seems the percent error of the class average versus my value was 10.43 %. Which makes sense because my loaded Q factor was higher…

a last-minute catch. The cost of preventable medication errors in U.S. hospitals has been estimated at $16.4 billion annually (Wachter, 2012). “Sarah Geller was a 68-year-old woman who had undergone a cardiac bypass operation. On the morning of her planned transfer out of the intensive care unit (ICU), she suffered a seizure. She had no seizure history and was not on any epileptogenic medications. They drew some blood tests, and emergently wheeled her to the computed tomography (CT) scanner to…

Copper was calculated to be 0.262 J/g℃, even though the actual specific heat is 0.387 J/g℃. The percent error of that calculation is 32.299%. A considerable reason for this error is inaccurately reading the thermometer to the tenth degree digit (0.1℃). The atomic mass of Copper calculated is 95.038g/mole while the actual atomic mass is 63.548g/mole yielding a percent error of 49.553%. The error calculated can still be attributed to inaccurately reading the thermometer when gathering data. The…

The use of error correction strategies presented in the form of easy learning opportunities following an error and then representing the task has shown effective in teaching spelling words, match to sample, and rout recall for individuals with traumatic brain injuries (Lloyd, Riley, & Powell, 2009; Rodgers & Iwata, 1991). This method of error correction not only improved performance on basis of number of correct responses across trials, but increased stimulus control for correct responding…

Discussion Questions: Part 1 1. Calculate the percent error in your determination of the value for the molar heat of fusion of ice. The accepted value for the heat of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol. The percent error formula to be used is as follows: Percent error = theoretical value - experimental value x 100 theoretical value The percent error for trial 1 is 38%. The percent error for trial 2 is 42% and the percent error for trial 3 is 47%. 2. In order to do the…

increase patient safety, increase continuity of care and change hospital delivery (p. 97). Implementing the eMAR system can therefore increase patient safety and increase nurses’ confidence in medication administration. One option in reducing medication errors is the ability for the eMAR system to display alerts. For example regulatory questions and standards are implemented within the system to ensure the standards for medications administration are being addressed (Hunter, 2011, p. 2). The…

the medical errors committed by medical practitioners are not intentional, it is advisable that the medical practitioner discloses the errors to avoid adverse effects. It is notable that patients wish to be informed of the nature of the medical error, how and why it happened, and how to prevent recurrences and mitigate the side effects. Nevertheless, most physicians are not ready to disclose medical errors. In fact, disclosure likelihood decreases with increase in severity of the error. One of…

At one time, courts applied the same test for determining whether a federal constitutional error was harmless in direct appeals and habeas corpus proceedings. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 (1967) was the standard for harmless error review in both direct appeals and habeas corpus proceedings. Currently, the applicable harmlessness standard depends on the procedural posture of the case. Chapman remains the standard for direct appeals, but the standard in a collateral proceeding differs from a…

then use a computer system to centrally report these incidents (McCarthy and Blumenthal, 2006). Close calls can be more serious than adverse events. They also provide useful information to help diagnose dormant system weaknesses, which can lead to errors. Along with the implementation stage, the National Center conducted three-day training programs to teach the staff how to use these tools and provide them with ongoing support through calls and site visits (McCarthy and Blumenthal, 2006). The…

The ideas of truth and falsity are familiar concepts that pertain to any number discussion topics, especially those regarding higher power and error. In Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy, he seeks to validate his own thoughts, ideas, and beliefs through reasoning, and in doing so raises questions about the existence of God and the sources for error. Through the course of his argument, his premises and conclusions debate these topics, which allows the Meditations to be followed as a…
