Discussion Post 3: Root Cause Analysis
Describe an experience with Root Cause Analysis that you had in practice or your clinical practicum using a fishbone diagram or 5 Whys method. What was the adverse event? What was your role? As a nurse leader, how would you prevent the adverse event (or near miss) from happening again?
Provide at least two references from the required reading and any additional references needed.
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured investigative methodology aimed at identifying and correcting the underlying system-level causes of adverse events (Spath & DeVane, 2022). During my clinical practice, I participated in an RCA following a serious adverse event involving a confused patient who eloped from their home, found by police several hours later, transferred to our inpatient unit, and subsequently passed away. Although uncommon, sentinel events such as this often expose serious vulnerabilities in clinical practices and processes, requiring prompt and comprehensive investigation to prevent recurrence (Huang et al., 2025).
The adverse event resulted in delayed medical intervention and poor patient outcomes. My organization utilized the Five Whys method to examine the contributing factors leading up to the event. The Five Whys technique enables improvement teams to systematically explore problems by repeatedly asking why, allowing for comprehensive examination of the situation and identification of underlying contributing factors (Spath & DeVane, 2022).
Using the Five Whys approach, the following contributing factors were identified:
- Why did the patient elope?
- The patient was confused and left the home unsupervised.
- Why was the patient unsupervised?
- Caregiver supervision and safety monitoring were inconsistent despite ongoing education provided by staff and the initiation of a behavior contract. An Adult Protective Services (APS) report was filed but was determined to be unsubstantiated.
- Why was supervision inconsistent?
- The patients sister, who served as the health care surrogate, did not implement recommended interventions despite staff education and encouragement.
- Why was the elopement risk not adequately mitigated?
- Although standardized risk assessment tools and escalation protocols were used by staff, there was insufficient support from APS and family members to ensure patient safety.
- Why were safety protocols not consistently effective?
- Gaps existed between staff education and the actions communicated by the family to the care team regarding planned safety measures.
At the time of the event, I served as the Nurse Director overseeing the nurse responsible for the patients care. My role included supporting staff throughout the RCA process, ensuring transparent reporting, and communicating findings to senior leadership, who subsequently reported to the Chief Clinical Operations Officer (CCOO). I also participated in reviewing system-level failures and contributing factors rather than focusing on individual faults.
As a nurse leader, preventing a similar adverse event requires a proactive, system-based approach. Key prevention strategies include standardized cognitive and elopement risk assessments for patients receiving home-based care; clear escalation and communication protocols for high-risk patients; enhanced staff education and competency validation related to caring for confused patients in non-inpatient settings; caregiver education and support with explicit supervision expectations; and leadership oversight through auditing and review of near-miss events.
By addressing these root causes, nurse leaders can help create safer systems that reduce the likelihood of patient elopement and improve outcomes for vulnerable populations. To achieve their full potential, RCAs must be grounded in a psychologically safe and transparent framework that promotes open reporting and collective learning, yields specific and actionable findings, and facilitates meaningful, sustainable improvements in patient safety and organizational safety culture (Behrhorst et al., 2025).

5-2 Project Draft: Background and Deconstruction
Module Five Project Draft Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Your local community has decided to create a statue to commemorate an event. As part of this statue, a time capsule will be included, the contents of which will be opened in 50 years. You have been asked, as the community expert on the historical event related to this statue, to create a document that will be included as part of the time capsule that includes information about the event being commemorated.

5-2: Module Five Assignment Two
CJ 120 Module Five Assignment Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this assignment, you will be able to describe different cultures views on criminal justice professionals and identify incidents of misunderstandings. You will also be able to explain the current professional practices as well as the best practices that can help create cultural sensitivity in criminal justice professionals.
Prompt
At the beginning of the term, you discussed Culture in Communication and the ways in which individual implicit bias and stereotyping can lead to negative interactions between law enforcement professionals and members of the community. You then developed your own diversity training to assist sworn officers in reducing these incidents. Understanding the need for cultural awareness and sensitivity in law enforcement can help bridge the gap as well as build trust between sworn professionals and the community. This will also assist you in completed Module Five Assignment One in this module.
In Project One, you chose a civilian role. In Project Three, your success in the first project has been recognized, and you will be asked to provide a report to the Office of Accountability, which would like to hear your thoughts on other relevant issues.
To help prepare you for this report, in this assignment you will focus on one culture or subculture and how its views of and past misunderstandings with criminal justice professionals might impact interactions between the groups. Choose a culture or subculture group other than your own that you would like to examine further. For each section below, provide the following:
Views
Summarize, in 150300 words, an example of each of the following:
- Viewpoints your chosen culture or subculture group might have about criminal justice professionals
- An explanation of why this group might hold those views
Misunderstandings
Provide an example of a misunderstanding this culture or subculture group has had with criminal justice professionals. You may wish to consider one of the following areas. (Hint: You will need to provide an example of each of these areas in Project Three, so you may want to choose one of them now.)
- Language
- Religion/Beliefs
- Deafness
- Illiteracy
Professional Practices
Next, explore each of the professional practices listed below. For each practice, in 50100 words, describe the practice and then bullet point some of the possible outcomes of instituting it. This will help prepare you to explore each of these practices and make recommendations to the Office of Accountability in Project Three. Refer to the document for expectations and formatting guidelines for this section of the assignment.
- Understanding the public
- Diversity training
- Procedural justice
- Police legitimacy
- Diverse hiring practices
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
- Explore the viewpoints of a culture or subculture group and why that group might hold those views.
- Provide an example of a misunderstanding between a culture or subculture group and criminal justice professionals.
- Describe professional practices and possible outcomes.
What to Submit
This assignment must be completed in written format. Any references must be cited in APA format. For more information on APA style, review the .
