Question

A nurse is using military time when entering information into a client's clinical record. For example, the clock below indicates that the time is 0708 a.m. Which number in military time should the nurse enter to document a wound irrigation that was implemented at 9 p.m.?

1. 0900
2. 1900
3. 2100
4. 2300

Answer 1

The nurse should enter number 4. 2300 to document a wound irrigation implemented at 9 p.m. in military time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should enter number 4. 2300 to document a wound irrigation implemented at 9 p.m. in military time. In military time, 9 p.m. is represented as 2100, but since the nurse is using the 24-hour clock, the number to be entered would be 2300.
