Table 7 Theme 6– the “Safety-related dilemma”
Sub-themes | Students’ dilemma narrative |
|---|---|
Commission | The resident administered the wrong dose of antibiotics. The nursing department advised not to tell the patient about this, and the professor managed the situation by instructing the erring resident to look for reference cases related to antibiotic doses. (Team 8) |
Omission | Medical personnel were not thoroughly checking patient information on the pretext that they were busy. In theory, during “history taking,” patients were taught to ask “open questions,” but in practice, they were often omitted. (Team 22) |
Safety violation | A professor entered the operating room because of an emergency and wore gloves without washing his hands. (Team 18) |
