Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. Any incident occurring before, after, or during a procedure is categorized as a diagnostic
procedure risk. A medication error occurs when a medication or fluid is omitted, the wrong
dose is administered, or the medication is administered to the wrong client. A medical-legal
incident occurs when a client or family refuses treatment as ordered. Complications from
diagnostic or treatment procedures are a high-risk area in health care.
