Question

a nurse asks a nurse manager why staff nurses on the unit cannot document in a separate record (instead of the client record) to make it easier to find information on nursing-specific actions. what is the best response by the nurse?

Answer 1

Answer:"Legal policy requires nursing practice to be permanently integrated into the client record."Explanation:Legal policy requires nursing care documentation to be permanently integrated into the client record. Computer applications and electronic health record formats may have some differences, but they all use an integrated record. Suggesting that the nurse develope a new tool would be inappropriate, as separate nursing documentation would not be legal.
