- -The NPSG's were established in 2002 to help accredited organizations address specific areas of concern in regards to patient safety. -The Joint Commission first implemented the first set of NPSG's for healthcare organizations in January 1, 2003.-Matching goals to facilities.
- -improve the accuracy of patient identification-improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers-improve the safety of using medications-reduce the harm associated with clinical alarm systems-reduce the risks of HAI's-identify safety risks inherent in the hospital's patient population-prevent wrong site, wrong procedure
- Column Chromatography: It is important to pack the column properly, and avoid draining the solvent below the top surface of the column, because
- An unexpected patient/resident occurrence that results in, or could result in, death or serious harm to the patient/resident. The purpose of reporting and investigating sentinel events is to improve the quality of patient/resident care by focusing attention on underlying causes and risk reduction and to increase the general knowledge about sentinel events, their causes and prevention. the reporting is not punitive.
- Column Chromatography: Organic chemists routinely use ___________ chromatography to purify multigram quantities of compounds, and _______-_________ chromatography to test the eluent contents.
- *accuracy of patient identification*communication between caregivers*safety of infusion pumps*safety of high-alert medications*effectiveness of clinical alarm systems**wrong patient, wrong site, wrong procedure
- Identify specific sentinel events, describes their common underlying causes, and suggests steps to prevent occurrences in the future. the Joint Commission uses Sentinel Event Alerts to identify potential new Safety Goals and Requirements.
- Is reviewed and if the facility meets the criteria, then it will receive an accreditation, which is renewable every three years.
- Helps ensure quality health care through the development of standards for patient safety.
- Undergo review by the Joint Commission to ensure that health care facilities comply with the standards and regulations set forth from the Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
- Column Chromatography: In this week's lab, ______-____________ will elute off the column first, followed by, chlorophylls , and xanthophyll last.
- SN2: What, primarily, is being removed from the reaction mixture by distillation?
- Bromination of E-Stilbene: Bromination of an alkene typically proceeds with net ______-addition.
- SN2: The sulfuric acid mixture that remains in your reaction vial will have to be disposed of. Based on the correct answer to the previous question, which of the following disposal methods is correct? NOTE: the other three methods are not just incorrect, but two are potentially dangerous. Make sure when the time comes that you follow the correct procedure! Your TA will give direction.
- SN1: Your product should have a __________ silver nitrate test and a __________ sodium iodide/acetone test.
- E1 Elimination: In general, dehydration of an alcohol provides a product that has a lower boiling point than the alcohol reactant. Why? Check all valid reasons. Note: this question is graded by Canvas as "right minus wrong", subtracting points for wrong answers.
- E1 Elimination: E1 and SN1 reactions can compete. Check all of the reasons why E1 predominates in this week's reaction. Note: this question is graded by Canvas as "right minus wrong", subtracting points for wrong answers.
- E1 Elimination: Your cyclohexene will be tested with potassium permanganate. If you could isolate the organic product formed during this test, what would it be?
- SN2: Search online for the origins of the phrase "throwing vitriol". This refers to using the chemical concentrated __________ ____________ with the intent of causing injury and disfigurement to the target .
- Bromination of E-Stilbene: Check all of the following chemicals that you will be using that can cause severe skin and eye burns. Note: this question is graded by Canvas as right minus wrong.
