Dear Nurses, Does anyone know (or can you cite) that the California Nurse Practice Act addresses our duties for documentation? Are our responsibilities specifically mentioned or are they inferred? I can't find anything specific, but perhaps I'm overlooking something. I have been puzzling over this for a week or so, and decided it's worth asking here. Thanks in advance for your help!

Not in CA, but it is unlikely that a state's NPA will dictate what must be documented; that would be referred to facility policies instead.
