Sally Jones is a 74-year-old inpatient at Sunny View Hospital. During the night her temperature rose, and she is currently not responding to the nurses. Nurse Smith informed the attending physician and called the family. Discuss the information that should be recorded in a progress note
Since Sally's condition has changed, documentation in the patient record must reflect this; documentation should also reflect follow-up measures taken by the staff. The call to the attending physician should also be noted. Since Nurse Smith called the family, she should document the time of call and to whom she spoke, as well as the information given to the family.
