Question

question 3 of 12 required question true or false: i only need to report a safety event if something serious happens. true - only serious events need to be reported. near misses do not need to be reported because no event reached the patient. a near miss event is a safety event that does not reach the patient. false - near miss events need to be reported as well as serious events. a near miss event is a safety event that does not reach the patient. learning from a near miss can help prevent harm events from happening.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the options:

• The first option is incorrect as safety events (including near misses) should be reported regardless of severity to prevent future harm.
• The second option is incorrect because near misses (events that could have harmed the patient but didn't) are also important to report for learning and prevention.
• The third option is correct: Near miss events (safety events that don't reach the patient) need to be reported, as learning from them helps prevent harm events. A near miss is a safety event without patient harm, and reporting/learning from it is crucial.

Answer:

False - Near miss events need to be reported as well as serious events. A near miss event is a safety event that does not reach the patient. Learning from a near miss can help prevent harm events from happening. (The correct option among the three, assuming the third option is the one stating this, with its identifier like the radio button for it)
