Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
As computers become standard equipment with each client's unit, electronic charting at the bedside will replace most pen and paper documentation. The computer system offers the advantage of speed and convenience in both the entry and retrieval of information. The system is expensive and privacy may be infringed if security measures are not used.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When documenting information in a health record for a client, the nurse should sign the record with his or her first initial, full name, last name, or classification. It is not necessary for the nurse to report every observation to the physician. Obtaining a signature from the physician is not absolutely essential. The nurse need not enter the day of the week for each entry, although it is mandatory to enter the date and time for every entry that the nurse makes in the record when documenting.
