I practiced a question similar to this, and I remember that having a second person check calculations is more about verification than human factors, so I’m not sure about C either.

I think root cause analysis is more about understanding incidents rather than directly improving safety, so I’m leaning away from A.

This is a good test of our knowledge on human factors. I'll eliminate the options that don't directly address improving patient safety through design.

Okay, I've got a hunch that the answer is B. Smart Access Gateway seems to be the service that provides an SD-WAN solution, but I'll double-check the details just to be sure.

I'd say the correct answer is E) hiring a team of superheroes to protect patients from any and all harm. Just imagine the Avengers rounding up medication errors and performing perfect CPR. Now that's what I call patient safety!
