Hello,

I need help with this assignment. Please use the following scenario to complete this assignment. This assignment should be 1 to 2 paragraphs in length.

For this discussion, imagine that you are a supervisor in a very busy emergency department. During a very busy Friday night shift, you are helping deliver care because you are short-staffed that night. You relieve one of the nurses for a quick break and you discover she has made a medication error.

For your initial post, consider the impact of the culture of an organization. Compare and contrast how this incident would be handled in a just culture versus a punitive culture or laissez-faire (leave it alone) culture. In what ways are punitive or laissez-faire cultures detrimental to patient safety initiatives? How would the culture of the organization impact its ability meet accreditation and patient safety standards?
