Feedback:
When recording an error in documentation, the nurse should always cross out the incorrect statement with a single line, enclose it in parentheses, and write ERROR with the nurse's initials above it. The nurse should not erase the incorrect statement and replace it with the correct one. The nurse should not cross out the wrong statement in a way that means the statement is not readable, and the nurse should not use correction ink to mark the wrong statement. Recording errors in documentation through these three methods is considered illegal.
