Question 1 of 5
While documenting on a paper form, the nurse realizes they have made a mistake writing the progress note. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In the scenario described, it is essential for the nurse not to alter the original progress note. Option B is the correct course of action as it maintains the integrity of the documentation while acknowledging the error for transparency and accuracy. Using a black marker (Option
A) or whiteout (Option
C) can be seen as an attempt to conceal the mistake, which is not in line with professional standards. Option D is incorrect because the mistake should be addressed within the documentation itself, not by informing the client directly about it.
