Abstract: When the weatherman predicts that 1 to 3 inches of snow will fall and we awaken in the morning to find 18 inches, we say that a mistake was made. We are surprised and inconvenienced, but this mistake has no serious repercussions. If a business executive got lost following a detour because the signs are not clear, he or she may be late for a meeting, but nothing more serious is likely to occur. However, when a nurse makes a mistake or tries to follow unclear instructions, death can be the result.
