According to Board Rule 217.11, what is a nurse allowed to do regarding late entries in patient documentation?

Ignore the late documentation altogether
Create false entries to cover up missed documentation
Follow facility policy for making a "late entry"
Inform the patient about the missed documentation

The correct answer is: Follow facility policy for making a "late entry"

According to Board Rule 217.11, nurses are required to follow facility policy for making a "late entry" in patient documentation. This means that nurses should not ignore the late documentation or create false entries to cover up missed documentation. It is essential to adhere to professional and ethical standards by following the appropriate procedures as outlined by the facility in such situations. Informing the patient about missed documentation may not be necessary unless it directly impacts the patient's care and should also be done following facility protocols.
