Ear 2 Nursing Student Eliza was working with SN Jasmine in a busy medical ward and must care for patients in an additional cubicle as her colleague is on compassionate leave. Eliza discovered that SN Jasmine miscalculated and wrongly set up the IV infusion of Mr. Ben, 82 years old with Parkinson’s disease who was admitted for community acquired pneumonia. Instead of infusing 1L IV Normal Saline 0.9% over 12 hours, SN Jasmine infused Mr Ben 1L Normal Saline in an hour. Student Nurse Eliza is hesitant to report SN Jasmine’s mistake for fear of consequences concerning SN Jasmine and herself. Presenting ethical question: Should Eliza report the medication error promptly?
