AWHONN PEOP Perinatal Final Review 2022
Swiss cheese is often used as the paradigm for explaining medical error. In this
model, the holes in the cheese represent
latent weaknesses
You are assigned to a patient who is at 38 weeks and 6 days gestation. She is
being admitted for an elective induction of labor because her husband is going
on an extended business trip in 2 days and he wants to be present for the
delivery. The hospital has no policy regarding elective induction, but you know
that the AWHONN "Go the Full 40" campaign doesn't support early elective
induction. You approach the physician with your concerns. He responds that he's
been doing this for 30 years and has never had a bad outcome from an elective
induction at this gestation.
