I am a new nurse on orientation. Today I had a patient in which I put some wrong things on the chart by accident from just pure not realizing at the time. I put that the diet was regular in my flowsheet when it was actually a DASH diet, and put that the patient was in desired limits regarding respiratory at the time of my assessment. She came in with shortness of breath but was fine at the time I assessed her. I realized after I already left. Has anyone else ever made stupid charting mistakes like this?
