A sentinel event is defined as an unexpected occurrence that results in death, serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk of such outcomes. This includes incidents that involve the loss of limb or function. The phrase "or the risk thereof" encompasses any process variation that, if it were to happen again, would have a significant chance of causing a serious adverse outcome. These events are referred to as "sentinel" because they indicate the need for immediate investigation and response. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.Rate this question:
