Question

Hasson Petty · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Asking doctors if they washed hands is an example of a patient-focused intervention, as it directly involves patient safety and reducing the risk of infection. Making shifts shorter for nurses or doctors may improve fatigue levels, but it does not necessarily address the root cause of medical errors. Averting errors via computer systems is important, but it is not a patient-focused intervention as it does not directly involve patients in the prevention of medical errors.
