Question

-I will make sure the monitor is turned off when I have to leave the computer terminal
-I can share my password with nursing students assigned to my unit
-I will allow a client to make changes directly to their medical record
-After I finish with the printout of my assignment. I'll put it in the shredder

Answer 1

The newly licensed nurse should turn off the monitor when leaving the computer terminal and dispose of printouts properly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To demonstrate an understanding of the facility's policies regarding EMRs, the newly licensed nurse should make sure the monitor is turned off when leaving the computer terminal. Sharing passwords with nursing students should be avoided for security reasons. Allowing clients to make direct changes to their medical records is not within the nurse's responsibility. After finishing with a printout, it should be properly disposed of, such as through shredding.
