Charting bloopers

Just today I wrote " Lung sounds CDI (clean dry intact) " I was doing a discharge and was looking at my note . I meant to write that his lungs were clean and dsg cdi .

My coworker and I were at the nurses station and she was filling out an incident report. She hands me the paper to proof read. I got to the end of it and did a double take and shot soda out my nose. I told her what she did and we just about died laughing. We still laugh about it.

We had a patient who hurt her finger in her wheelchair. At the end of the report, I knew she meant, "will continue to monitor the patient." What she wrote was "will continue to finger the patient."

Thanks! These really cheered me up this morning!!

Saw a good one years ago!!

"Patient not eating, but taking po urine well."

YUCK!

After trying to figure this out, the nurses finally asked the doc what it stood for - "God Only Knows"
(he got into trouble for this one!!)
