Should I write a note saying I filed it accidentally?

Incase if they find out that I altered the charting of someone filed 2 days ago.

Actually I was going through pt previous day charting. I accidentally altered and filed it on my name and today date on computer. It was charted 2 days ago by someone but now it shows my name and recorded today. Should I write a comment in box stating that I accidentally filed? Please help.thank you.

Unchart it, and write a comment saying why. It sounds like you didn't have the pt on that day and you accidentally charted, right?

Yes. I was going through or behavior but I accidentally did something wrong and filed it.

Actually I didn't altered it but it looks I altered it. Because I clicked on that part and filed.

When I checked the charting it shows I have taken two days ago and recorded today. Because I touched it but I didn't changed anything.

The likelihood if anyone noticing or caring would be very small.
