o Summarize the situation.
o Describe your (or the nurse’s) role in the patient care situation.
o Explain the role the patient played in their own quality- or safety-related situation.
o Evaluate the relationship between the patient’s care and the outcome.
o Identify how the care environment affected the situation, including the nurse or provider, the patient, and the outcome.
