TO: Ms. Platt SUBJECT: Poor charting of I&O

FROM: Kay Campbell, Nurse Manager-5 N Date: March 17

The I&O record on Mrs. East in 517 is incomplete for evening and night shifts for her post¬operative period. She went into shock in the recovery room and is in renal failure. Dr. Blake is extremely upset about the lack of thorough charting of I&O. One of the evening aides heard Mr. East call his lawyer about the possibility of a lawsuit. We thought you needed to be aware of this situation.
