A nurse is involved in a medical error that resulted in harm to a patient. The error was due to a complex system failure, but the nurse was directly involved in the final step.

Follow the administration's suggestion to protect the hospital.
Accept full blame for the error.
Accurately and honestly report their involvement and the circumstances of the error to relevant parties and in official documentation.
Conceal the error to avoid personal blame.

Always defer to the family's cultural practice.
Insist on direct communication with the patient regardless of culture.
Respect cultural norms but also seek opportunities to assess and honor the patient's individual desire for information directly, perhaps with the family's understanding.
Only provide information in writing to avoid direct confrontation.

Use a certified medical interpreter to ensure accurate communication and informed consent.
Provide written materials in the patient's language without verbal translation.
Ask the patient if they understand after the family member translates.
