Instructions

In each of these questions, two Statements numbered as I & II are provided. These may have a cause and effect relationship or may have independent causes or be the effects of independent causes. Read the statements and mark answer as

Question 144

Statement I : World Health Organization believes that one in 10 hospital admissions leads to an adverse event and one in 300 admissions in death. Unintended medical errors are a big threat to patient safety.
Statement II: American Medical Association claims and quantifies that there are nearly 2000 deaths due to unnecessary surgery. 7000 deaths from medication errors, 8000 deaths from infections and nearly 16000 deaths due to adverse effects of medicines.

Solution

Both statements discuss the unintended medical errors or adverse effects of medical practices/medicines, as pointed out by WHO and the American Medical Association, and provide statistics related to the same. However, there is no causal effect relationship between them because they independently talk about the topic and numbers. Hence, they must be effects of some common cause because of them being from the same topic.
