Question 25 • CREDIT RE-SEAT MNPS Introduction to Health Science IC S2 25-26

Which are the steps to perform a root-cause analysis in health care?

Answer
A
Describe the problem, collect data and proof of the incident, name possible factors, determine the root cause of the problem, and advise and put into practice solutions to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
B
Describe the problem, form a hypothesis, analyze data, determine the root cause of the problem, and write a conclusion.
C
Describe the problem, collect data and proof of the incident, make tables and graphs, determine the root cause of the problem, make a conclusion, and inform everyone involved.
D
Describe the problem, form a hypothesis, collect data and proof of the incident, name possible factors, and determine the root cause of the problem.

Explanation

Root-cause analysis starts by clearly describing the problem and gathering evidence about the incident. The team then identifies possible contributing factors, determines the underlying root cause, and puts solutions in place to prevent the problem from happening again. Choice A includes this full process; the other choices leave out prevention or include steps that do not capture the full process.
