responses that should be counted as correct.
THINKING IT THROUGH: LINDA STEVENS
1. What might have happened if Linda had simply performed the blood sugar test
exactly as ordered?
Answer: The results would not have been accurate.
2. Do you think Linda should have been considered responsible for the error if
they had followed the orders exactly?
Answer: Yes. Health care professionals are accountable for their actions. They must
base their actions on the patient’s conditions, the validity of the physician’s orders,
and consequences of their actions. They cannot simply follow orders and pass on the
responsibility. The assumption is that following orders implies agreement with them.
3. Review the five Ws and the How questions in relation to this situation. Give
examples of questions that Linda may have asked.
Answer: What is the patient’s diagnosis/condition?
What is the purpose of the blood test? Or, why am I being asked to perform this
blood test?
What can affect the outcome of the test?
When did the patient last eat?
When will they be eating next?
Who ordered the test to be given at 8 a.m.?
Why was it ordered at that time?
How can the meal affect the outcome of the test?
How can I check these orders?
