Abstract: Nurses frequently have to program infusion pumps to deliver a prescribed quantity of drug over time. Occasional errors are made in the performance of this routine number entry task, resulting in patients receiving the incorrect dose of a drug. While many of these number entry errors are inconsequential, others are not; infusing 100 ml of a drug instead of 10 ml can be fatal. This paper investigates whether a supplementary graphical number representation, depicting the magnitude of a number, can help people det… Show more

“…The data entry task is very important for several companies because it is a relatively straightforward task. The errors and the consequences can range from mildly annoying to very severe (Borghouts, Soboczenski, Cairns, & Brumby, 2015), by requiring additional information (Wiseman, Borghouts, Grgic, Brumby, & Cox, 2015) or using alternative input technology affecting the data entry processing (Oladimeji, Thimbleby, & Cox, 2011). The researchers confirm this by using several previous research statements that the data entry task is very suitable and chosen to develop in this study.…”
