Question

Based upon the following documentation in an acute care record, where would you expect this excerpt to appear? "With the patient in the supine position, the right side of the neck was appropriately prepped with betadine solution and draped. I was able to pass the central line which was taped to skin and used for administration of drugs during resuscitation.":

A. Physician progress notes
B. Operative record
C. Nursing progress notes
D. Physical examination

Answer 1

The excerpt would most likely appear in the Surgical Operative Record.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt would most likely appear in the Surgical Operative Record. In an acute care record, the operative record details the surgical procedure performed on the patient. The documentation mentions the prep of the neck, the use of betadine solution, and the insertion of a central line. These are all elements related to a surgical procedure and would be recorded in the operative record.
