Error

season 4 episode 2. Throughout this episode I focused on four thinking errors, these errors were; The fundamental attribution error, availability heuristic, cognitive dissonance and normative influence. The very first thinking error I observed was the Fundamental attribution error. The hosts of undercover boss are posing a fake reality tv show on the restaurant under investigation and causing fundamental attribution error. This error is due to the fact that the employees are left in the dark and…

Medication errors are a continuous concern in the healthcare industry and are one of the most important factors to consider while providing patient care. Hospitals, clinics and other health care agencies across the nation have strict protocols and regulations regarding the administration of medications to promote a patient safety culture. One of the most known standards is the “five rights” of medication administration, which consists of the right patient, right medication, right dose, right…

The study that is summarized aimed to further delve into the current roles of hospitalization in prescribing error hazards and medication-related communication as patients are taken back and forth to ambulatory care. Many hazards come about in a hospital setting but a prescribing error is caused by the individual working for the health-care institution. The change-over between diverse levels of health-care, like hospital admission and discharge, display a large threat to the quality and…

gives high or low marks simply because of personal feelings (Peak et al, 2010). Constant error problem occurs when a rarer rates a group too low, too high, or too much in the middle without any clear logic (Peak et al, 2010). Last, unclear standards when there is no agreement across the board on rating standards and each supervisor may rate differently (Peak et al,…

80% of all commercial airline crashes are believed to be pilot error, causing it to be the number one reason why planes crash (Haq). Pilots go through immense training and often need thousands of flight hours just to be a commercial airline pilot. Often this kind of error happens when the plane is on the runway. Taking off and landing the aircraft are some of the more difficult maneuvers that a pilot must do. Failure…

The Comedy of Errors is a lesser known Shakespearian tale, of two sets of brothers in a not-so-familiar setting. Two sets of identical twins are separated at birth – Egeon, a merchant, Emilia, his wife, his two twin sons (both named Antipholus), and the two slaves (also twins, both named Dromio) to the merchant’s sons are hit by a tempest and one son and slave stays with the Duke of Ephesus while the other son and slave are with his wife. It is a story of reunion as Antipholus and Dromio of…

can be deadly. While mistakes surrounding misdiagnoses, surgery, and administering of anesthesia are well-documented, prescription and medication errors are a rising concern. According to the experts at the Abelson Law Firm, every year in the United States, at least 1.5 million people are injured as a result of medication errors. How Does It Happen? Errors in medication are often made by the prescribing doctor. He may fail to identify potential interactions…

Error correction is a well-established aspect of second language learning that many, if not all, learners experience. It has, for many years, been believed to benefit the learners; some methodologies for second language acquisition and learning are built on error correction (behaviourism, for instance, as it follows that language learning is simply forming habits; bad habits – ie. errors – must not be permitted). However, in recent years the benefits of error correction have come under severe…

Diane Ravitch recently wrote a book called “The Reign of Error,” this book is about how people are trying to change schools because they think they are flawed even though they are not. I acknowledge this opinion although, I disagree strongly. Even if schools are at their peak right now, even if there is nothing…

measured in a measuring cylinder to ensure that the amount of detergent added remains consistent. Increasing the sample size will increase precision, minimising the impact of random errors. Moreover, an average of the data could potentially reduce the effect of random errors on the data. The graph can be used to detect random errors through the amount of scattering in the results. Improvements could occur, with numerous trials, therefore, conducting an average of trials to minimise the effect of…
