Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Expected nursing documentation includes a nursing assessment, the care plan, interventions, the patient's outcomes or response to care, and assessment of the patient's ability to manage after discharge. Documentation should be factual and nonjudgmental.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Log-on access to the electronic record identifies the person charting or making a change. If an error is made in electronic documentation, it can be corrected on the screen view but the error and correction process remains in the permanent electronic record. Any correction in documentation that indicates a significant change in patient status should include notification of the primary care provider.
