  How could the charting entry be best improved? A) The entry should include clearer descriptions of the client's mood and behavior
  B) The entry should avoid mentioning cognitive or psychosocial issues

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
8:00 a.m. is 0800 in military time and 8:00 p.m. is 2000.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Entries in the medical record should be precise, descriptive, and objective. An adjective such as upset is unclear and open to many interpretations. As such, the nurse should elaborate on this description so that a reader has a clearer understanding of the client's state of mind. Stating the apparent reasons that the client was upset does not resolve the ambiguity of this descriptor. Cognitive and psychosocial issues are valid components of the medical record. Responses and interventions should normally follow assessment data but the data themselves must first be recorded accurately.
