Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Entries into paper medical records are traditionally made with black ink to enable copying or scanning, unless a facility requires or allows a different color. The date, time, and signature, with credentials of the person writing the entry, are included in the entry. No blank spaces are left between entries because they could allow someone to add a note out of sequence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Paper records have several potential problems. Paper is fragile, susceptible to damage, and can degrade over time. It may be difficult to locate a particular chart because it is being used by someone else, it is in a different department, or it is misfiled. Storage and control of paper records can be a major problem.
