In this paper we introduce emotions in the reasoning process of the nurses administering patient medication in a simulated hospital environment. Of particular interest is to examine the effects of emotional stress due to workspace events, the influence from patients or coworkers on the precise task of medication administration. Based on the five known rights of medication administration each step may be potentially influenced by the emotional challenge. Such mistakes in turn translate to a reduced quality of patient care causing patients to suffer needlessly. This work introduces the preliminary model for emotional decision making in an effort to better understand the risks and identify the factors to minimize them in a health care setting.
