Answer to Question 2

A
The acronym FLAT is a tool that can be used by nurses to remind themselves what points must be
covered in charting to help protect them legally. FLAT stands for factual, legible, accurate, and timely.
The old adage that if it isn't written, it didn't happen still holds true, and FLAT is one way to remind
nurses what needs to be written and how.
