Documentation that is correct but wrong? Pitocin

Help.

Help.

My employer wants us to chart why we didn't increase pitocin on the ordered 30.minute interval and that the physician was notified. most of the time that's easy to do. But many times it is because we are busy in another patients room.

Someone suggested RN unavailable due to.patient care in another room.  but that sounds like we are unable to watch our patient that is on a high risk medication.  Unavailable?

Maybe, RN unable to complete task while assisting another patient?  It is the same really but maybe less...?

how can we word it so it is accurate but not a sitting duck for lawyers?

What do you all do?
