To ensure documentation accuracy, follow these guidelines: 1. Timeliness: Record information as soon as possible after an event occurs. 2. Objectivity: Focus on factual, objective data. Avoid subjective opinions unless clearly stated as such. 3. Clarity: Use clear and concise language. Avoid abbreviations that could be misunderstood. 4. Completeness: Ensure all relevant information is included. Do not leave out critical details. 5. Legibility: If handwritten, ensure your entries are readable. Poor handwriting can lead to misinterpretation.
