As nurses are taking on more autonomy over the care of their patients, issues of malpractice by nurses are growing, and the risk of malpractice lawsuits is increasing. there are many mistakes that statisticians can make. Kim and Mallory (2014) explained that "statistical mistakes can occur at various stages of a study or project. Such errors include poor sampling strategy, inaccurate data entry, misrepresenting a graph, or choosing the wrong statistical test for the proposed research questions". As fallible human beings, we will always make mistakes, but with the welfare of your patients at risk, your goal as a nurse is to make as few mistakes as possible. Unfortunately, when our knowledge is based on research that uses faulty statistics, mistakes may happen even when following standard care.
