Here are some adorable mix-ups in the chart I've recently seen:


Pt scheduled for Knee Arthroscopy, pre-op diagnosis should  be - Internal Derangement; actually read InterANAL Derangement (shall we schedule the GI doc to fix the scheduler's Cranial-Sacral-Transposition)


Pt should have been scheduled for an Excision of Neuroma - actually scheduled for Excision of Aroma (very stinky feet!)


What are your favorite charting Oops! ?

I work 3rd shift so when I do my assesments, I see had 1st and 2nd have charted for their assesments. I saw that the 1st shift nurse had charted pedal pulse plus 2. The patient was a bilateral amputee. I wonder how she did that? This was from a seasoned nurse too.
