Discuss:

  1. What were the errors in this situation?
  2. Did healthcare staff adequately advocate for Lewis? Why or why not?
  3. If you were the nurse caring for Lewis, what would you have done differently?
  4. What habits of patient advocacy can you implement in your nursing practice? How will these habits prevent errors or patient harm?
