Your Chart Is The Only Witness That Never Forgets.

In the fast-paced world of emergency nursing, every assessment, intervention, reassessment, medication administration, patient refusal, and provider communication becomes part of a permanent legal record.

Months—or even years—later—your documentation may be the only evidence of the care you provided.

ER Charting Do's & Don'ts was created to help emergency nurses strengthen documentation habits, improve charting accuracy, reduce legal risk, and communicate patient care clearly in high-acuity environments.

Written by Emergency Department Nurse Educator Melissa J. Curiel, MHA, BSN, RN, CEN, this practical bedside guide focuses on real-world emergency nursing documentation scenarios encountered every day in the Emergency Department.

Inside You'll Learn:

• Triage and ESI documentation
• Chief complaint and HPI charting
• Assessment documentation essentials
• Pain reassessment and medication charting
• Chest pain, stroke, sepsis, trauma, and behavioral health documentation
• Restraints, suicide precautions, and high-risk charting situations
• EMTALA, transfers, AMA, and LWBS documentation
• Late entries, addendums, and legal risk reduction strategies
• Quick-reference charting phrases you can use immediately
• Documentation pearls from an Emergency Department Nurse Educator

Whether you're a new graduate nurse, nurse resident, experienced emergency nurse, charge nurse, preceptor, or educator, this guide provides practical tools to help you chart with confidence and protect your professional practice.

Because the chart will speak long after your shift is over.
