Then we review our previous nursing accident or incident protection model based on abduction. This paper extends the nursing accident or incident protection model by using the concept of scenario. That is, the model introduces chronological information in knowledge presentation. Then this paper regards a set of nursing activities as a scenario and characterizes a (nursing) accident or incident as a scenario violation.
