Disclosing a medication error to a family — OSCE

Station brief (8–10 minutes)

A six-month-old infant became briefly apnoeic after an opioid infusion was programmed ten times too fast. The nurse stopped the pump, naloxone was given, and the baby has recovered. You are the registrar. The parent is at the bedside. Disclose what happened, explain the plan, and address the parent's concerns. Do not invent local statutory wording or compensation detail. ^{[1] [13]}
