What is the main purpose of an EHR audit trail?
Answer: Track who accessed or changed a record and when
Audit trails support accountability and detection of inappropriate access.
What is a risk of copy-and-paste ('copy-forward') charting?
Answer: Propagating outdated or inaccurate information
Copied text may not reflect the infant's current status and can perpetuate errors.
When receiving a telephone order for an infant, what must the nurse do?
Answer: Write it, read it back, and have the prescriber verify, then document per policy
Read-back verification reduces errors in verbal orders.
Which method best documents effective discharge teaching for parents?
Answer: Topics taught, teach-back results, and parent understanding with materials provided
Teach-back with specifics shows comprehension rather than just exposure.
What should be documented at discharge regarding the infant's security?
Answer: Verification of matching ID bands with parent and the person taking the infant
Final band verification confirms the right infant goes with the right parent.
Should a nurse reference an incident report in the patient's medical record?
Answer: No, document facts of the event and care; the incident report is separate
Incident reports are quality tools and should not be referenced in the chart.
Why is it important to avoid sharing EHR login credentials?
Answer: Entries are tied to the user, so sharing breaks accountability and violates privacy rules
Each user is responsible for entries under their credentials.
