Today, Mía is working on the urinalysis bench. She received a urine specimen in the laboratory and requested a complete urinalysis. The cup is labeled properly, so Mía begins the testing. She finishes the testing, reviews her results, and reports the results to the nurse on Floor 3 East. Several minutes later, Mía received a telephone call from the Floor 3 East charge nurse, informing her that the urine was reported on the wrong patient. She is told that the cup was labeled incorrectly before being brought to the laboratory. 1. What is the problem in this case, and where did it occur? 2. Would Mía’s laboratory’s QC system detect or prevent this error?
