Which client event would be considered an adverse event and would require completion of an incident/event/irregular occurrence/variance report? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,D,E
Rationale
Adverse events requiring an incident report include worsening cellulitis due to missed antibiotics , a fall even without injury , and a significant delay in a STAT procedure . Late medication administration is a variance but not typically an adverse event unless harm occurs, and a seizure in a known epileptic is expected unless protocol was not followed.
