During a post-flight briefing, a nurse openly admits to administering a medication dose outside the recommended guidelines due to a miscalculation. Under a Just Culture framework, what is the most appropriate initial response from the team leader?
Report the incident to regulatory bodies while engaging in internal discussion.
Facilitate a discussion to identify the root cause of the error and understand the nurse's decision-making process.
Consider suspending the nurse pending further investigation.
Discuss the nurse's actions publicly to promote awareness among the team.
A Just Culture approach to handling errors involves understanding the context in which errors occur and differentiating between human errors, risky behaviors, and intentional wrongdoings. The focus should be on discussing the error transparently, understanding the root cause, and improving processes to prevent future occurrences. Punitive actions are reserved for willful negligence or malicious actions.
