Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Point-of-care documentation takes place as care occurs, thus enhancing accuracy. Documentation is not normally delegated and should not be left to the end of a shift. It should be performed more than once every 6 hours.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
With the advance of computer technology, many institutions are transforming the client record to electronic format. Multiple people may access portions of the record from different sites at the same time.
