First, Protect the Patient from Harm
First, Protect the Patient from Harm
Today, unlike in the time of Hippocrates, evidence of harm may not become immediately obvious during healthcare interventions.

A wrong site surgery may go unnoticed until after the effects of anesthesia subside. An incorrect dosage of medication may not be recognized until an adverse drug event occurs. |
