Safety Management Steps Taken by Insured to Make Similar Occurrence Less Likely

As the patient was able to wiggle her toes of the right foot post-operatively, it is not anatomically probable the injury is related to the nerve block as the nerve involved in the anesthesia block is the same nerve which innervates the toes.Therefore, no safety management is necessary.
