Describe how you will document the phone call with K.W

What will be an ideal response?


First, state the date and time of the call and who provided the information. Then describe the
subjective information she provided, giving enough detail to support the plan of action and justify
that her problem can be managed without an in-person visit. In this case, you would document her
complaints of flu symptoms, noting that she has not taken insulin or checked blood glucose level.
You would then detail the plan of action, describing the care instructions you gave her, including
monitoring of glucose and ketones, concluding with when she was to follow up with you and the
parameters for seeking additional care.
