Question 1 of 5
A nursing unit is implementing a new electronic charting program for the nursing staff to use. Which of the following best describes a disadvantage of using electronic charting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: The program may be confusing and difficult to implement. Implementing a new electronic charting program may be challenging due to the complexity of the software and the learning curve for staff. It can take time and resources to train employees on how to effectively use the program, leading to potential confusion and resistance to change. This disadvantage could result in delays in charting, errors, and frustrations among staff members.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: The information is more likely to be lost or used inappropriately - Electronic charting systems often have built-in security measures to prevent data loss and unauthorized access.
B: Any provider in the unit can have access to the client's medical records - Electronic charting systems have role-based access control to limit who can view specific patient information.
C: The system diminishes communication between nurses and providers - Electronic charting can actually improve communication by allowing real-time access to patient information.
