While transcribing treatment information into a chart, you realize you have made a mistake. The best way to notate this is by doing which of the following?
Erase it and write in the correct information.
White it out and write in the correct information.
Cross the inaccuracy out with a single straight line, write in the correct information below, and then initial next to it.
Do nothing; it is illegal to alter the chart in any way.
Cross the inaccuracy out with a single straight line, write in the correct information below, and then initial next to it.
Rationale: Cross the inaccuracy out with a single straight line, write in the correct information below, and then initial next to it. You should never erase or use Whiteout, as the chart is a legal document, and if it ever needs to be entered in as evidence and there is Whiteout or it appears that some of the notes have been altered, it will appear that the office is trying to cover up a mistake.
