A nurse delivers medication to a patient at 6:10 in the evening. How does the nurse record this time in the patient’s chart?

Patient charts commonly use the 24-hour clock to avoid confusion between a.m. and p.m. For an evening time, add 12 to the hour: 6 + 12 = 18, so 6:10 p.m. is recorded as 18:10. The correct choice is 18:10.
