At a nursing home, there is a practical nurse employed. When the nurse walks into the client's room, she observes the client trying to get himself up off the floor where he is sitting. The nurse asks the patient about what transpired. The customer answers, "I slipped." Which of the following details have to be included in the incident report by the nurse?

Instead of recording the incident in an incident report, the nurse should just note it in the client's medical file. It is recommended that the nurse record the incident with the notes, "client slipped and fell, no injury noted." "Client found on floor and stated 'I slipped'. Physician notified, assessment completed, no injury noted" is how the incident report should be filed by the nurse. An incident report with the description "client slipped and fell to the floor" should be filed by the nurse.

Correct Answer:

"Client found on floor and stated 'I slipped'. Physician notified, assessment completed, no injury noted" is how the incident report should be filed by the nurse.
