Charting

I should have worded it differently. Say you come on a floor halfway thru a shift to help out in anyway, and the only other nurse is swamped and asks you to do her charting for her while she finishes her meds, treatments are done, etc. So, you sit down to chart her findings b/c you are just coming on the floor, and you havent had time to assess the patients yourself, and soon as you chart for her you are to go to a different floor to help them out with their charting. By the nurses findings I mean: lung sounds clear, pedal edema +2 noted, dressings dry and intact, etc...thanks for any input, I didnt feel wholly comfortable with it, but the charting had to get done...
