Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse would be most concerned with the phrase, If it wasn't charted, it wasn't done.. Accurate
and timely charting is one of the best ways to avoid a lawsuit. Without charting that is factual, legible,
accurate, and timely, there is no proof that the nurse provided care that meets professional standards.
