True, medication errors can have serious consequences for patients, so it makes sense to consider it a sentinel event.

Medication errors can also be serious, so I think that should be considered a sentinel event as well.

I think patient falls are common and not always preventable, so it may not be considered a sentinel event.

But what about a patient fall? Shouldn't that also be considered a sentinel event?

I agree, surgery on the wrong site is a serious mistake that should be considered a sentinel event.

I think a sentinel event is a surgery on the wrong site.
