Lewis Blackman Case
Sugiti Response
The learner begins by offering a perfect introduction to the Lewis Blackman’s case. The introduction makes the reader learn the unfortunate death that occurred to the subject of the case study. The student goes ahead to describe the main cause of death, which was the medicine related. A systematic guide is illustrated on how the patient was taken in by the surgeons and later handed over to the nurses. Despite the incidence occurring, the hospital’s leadership, which is responsible for any activities in the facility, declines to own up the mistake. It was important for the student to outline the latter since it helps understand the case better. The apology from the hospital could have aided in making the parents feel better for the error done (Allhoff & Borden, 2019). It is eminent that there was no crisis management team in the stated facility and this contributed to the death of the patient. The conclusion provided by the student is informative and provides a solution to what could be done about the Lewis case.
Etleva’s Response
The student begins by comparing the current case with another case that had occurred similarly. Sympathetic sentiments are provided which one can relate to considering that this case was an accident. The student highlights that the patient should not have succumbed considering that this was a routine surgery for the patient. A more detailed description of Lewis's condition is written which makes the reader learn why the surgery was taking place. Several tests were done but the nurses and residents decided to be ignorant as demonstrated by the student in a larger part of Etleva’s writing. The errors that led to Lewis Blackman's death are mentioned which included; failure to communicate, the failure to intervene and lack of knowledge on how to handle the whole situation. Each hospital system ought to have a resolution program (Schweitzer et al, 2015). The student concludes the paper by offering suggestions on how the organization should have handled the Lewis case.
