1A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about an incident report. Which of the following statement
by the newly licensed nurse
... [Show More] indicates an understanding of the teaching.
"I should place a copy of an incident report in the client's medical record."
The nurse should not place a copy of the incident report in the client’s medical record, as it is
confidential communication that belongs to the health care facility.
"I should document the completion of an incident report in the client's medical record."*
Incident reports are confidential facility documents that are used to assist with preventing further
occurrence of an incident, or to defend the facility in the event of a lawsuit. If it is documented that an
incident report was completed, the document is no longer confidential and the client can request copies
for use in a lawsuit.
"I should complete an incident report for an unexpected client occurrence."
The nurse should complete an incident report for unexpected occurrences to assist in determining
causes of deviations from standards of care.
"I should ask the risk manager to complete the incident reports."
The nurse is responsible for completing incident reports and should do so as soon as possible after the
incident.
