Overview of MedSurg Notes: Nurse’s Clinical Pocket Guide
The nurse must maintain accurate nursing notes, flow charts, medical charts, and nursing care plans that record the patient’s symptoms, the time the symptoms were present, the time the physician was notified, and the time the doctor arrived. The medical chart should be a factual record of the patient’s medical treatment, responses to treatment, vital signs, and all nursing interventions.
