You have finished your client's charting for the shift that is the end of the 24-hour period and the bottom half of the page remains blank. What is the generally accepted action to take?
 
  1. Draw an X through the remainder of the page.
  2. Do nothing since you do not have further notes on the client's care.
  3. This is not an issue because charting is not separated by days.
  4. Draw a single line through the remainder of the page.
