Homework Answers
As a Registered Nurse, If a saw a situation like LPN did, I should explain the proper guidelines on how to handle this situation correctly. There are some very specific alternatives and steps are there when we make a wrong in the medical record and we should need to follow it. By any means or in any condition, attempting to erase the record what we did wrong is completely not acceptable and it is termed as legal issues.
After explaining the proper guidelines to the LPN, It is better that we should inform the situation to the Nurse manager or the staff incharge to deal with this situation properly.
