Question

10/10
you have ended your shift and left the hospital. you then realize you forgot something to chart about the patient, what is the best thing to do?
call your friend and give her your login and password so she can chart for you a late entry
go back to the hospital and enter the notes needed.
call the charge nurse and give your login and password so she can chart it.
call the charge nurse and inform your error and let her chart a late entry for you using her logins

Explanation:

Patient - care documentation should be accurate and done by the responsible healthcare provider. Sharing login credentials (options 1 and 3) violates security and ethical policies. Option 4 is also incorrect as it's unethical for another person to chart using their own logins for someone else's work. Going back to the hospital (option 2) ensures the notes are entered by the correct person, maintaining integrity of the medical record.

Answer:

Go back to the hospital and enter the notes needed.
