You know, if the nurse had been eating a sandwich while prepping the injection, that would have been a commission error. But this is clearly an omission.

Hah, the nurse must have been daydreaming about their weekend plans instead of focusing on the patient. Omission for sure!

I see your point, Delisa, but I still think it's A) Omission because the error was in not doing something that should have been done.

This is textbook omission. The nurse's failure to act is the root cause of the adverse event. No brainer.

I believe it's D) Active error, because the nurse should have actively given the injection.

I'd go with option A. Omission. The nurse's forgetfulness resulted in the patient not receiving the necessary care.

Omission it is. The nurse's failure to administer the ordered treatment is the textbook definition of an omission error.

Definitely an omission error. The nurse forgot to give the injection, leading to the patient's stroke. Easy choice here.
