Nursing documentation is an integral part of clinical documentation and is a fundamental nursing responsibility. Good documentation ensures continuity of care, furnishes legal evidence of the process of care and supports evaluation of patient care. Nurses must balance clinical documentation with respect to legal imperatives. A number of frameworks are currently available to assist with nursing documentation including narrative charting, problem orientated approaches, clinical pathways, and focus notes. However many nurses still experience barriers to maintaining accurate and legally prudent documentation. A review of nursing documentation of patient care and General guidelines for daily nursing documentation (Campos, 2009; Scruth, 2014; Springer, 2007): Documentation should be: Accurate, relevant, and consistent.
