Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Marking out with a single line and initialing is an acceptable method to indicate a charting error.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A nurse should not write retaliatory or critical comments about a patient or care by other health care professionals. The nurse should not leave blank spaces in the nurse's notes. The nurse should be certain the entry is factual and not speculate or guess. The nurse should chart consecutively, line by line.
