I have noticed that a few of my fellow nurses will sign the count sheet before the final count is completed. They will sign it after the initial count. This doesn't seem right to me, as I always thought that you shouldn't pre-sign anything, and that you don't sign the count sheet until the final count is completed!
What will often happen is that a nurse will pre-sign for the count, get called away, and not even be there for the final count, even though they signed for it. When I asked them why, it is usually "no particular reason" or "in case I forget to do it later"
Does anyone have any ideas, comments? Or is it just me?
