What Are the Common Pitfalls in Date and Time Documentation?
Common pitfalls include: 1. Inaccurate entries: Failing to document interventions and observations in real-time can lead to inaccuracies. 2. Ambiguity: Using a 12-hour clock can create confusion, especially in high-stakes environments like emergency rooms. 3. Omissions: Missing out on documenting crucial times like medication administration or changes in patient status can affect patient care.
