Risk management personnel

Risk management personnel tell you that each person who has an adverse event may sue your company which, on average, will cost the company $ 2,000,000 for each adverse event (some people never sue, some get settled for less than this amount, some get tried by to jury and result in a larger judgment, but this is a reasonable average). Calculate how much money your company will likely lose in these cases each year. Compare that to the amount of money you will likely make in revenue (number of test strips you will likely sell each year times cost of a test strip, ~ $ 1 per test strip). Write a brief (<1 page) essay discussing the ethics.

Gather a minimum of 5 primary research study articles (NOT literature review, systematic reviews or meta analysis studies) to address the practice question. A primary research study includes collection of either qualitative or quantitative data.
Please upload the 5 articles. The assignment should be organized in the following 4 parts:

Using the “Framework for How to Read and Critique a Research Study“ (American Nurse Association) as a guide critique the research article. Provide explanations for your responses.
