Question 8 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

What is one way to ensure that patient information is accurately recorded?

Answer
A
Ask coworkers to record information that you have gathered about patients.
B
Write things down using shorthand and coded language so that only you can understand the information.
C
Try to remember all relevant information about a patient and write it down when you have time.
D
Write down details, such as a patient’s height and weight, immediately after measuring them.

Explanation

Record information as soon as you gather it to reduce the chance of forgetting or misremembering details. Writing down a patient’s height and weight immediately after measuring them is a clear example of accurate recording. Waiting until later, relying on memory, or using shorthand only you understand can lead to errors.
