For legal purposes, the healthcare professional should know that if it isn't in writing and explained completely and accurately,
it wasn't done. To which of the following "4 Cs of medical malpractice prevention" does this statement refer?a. Caring b. Communication
c. Competence
d. Charting
The Four Cs are adopted or used by medical practitioners or healthcare professionals to guide or protect them legally in the course of discharging their duties.
These four Cs are
* Caring.....Probably using person's name and avoid destructive unethical criticism of the work of others.
* Communication...... Be clear and ask questions for confirmation. Communication should be clear and pass across accordingly, and report adverse events to those in control.
* Competence.... Do your job as expected of you. Follow standards of care and appropriate procedures. Keep your skills updated. Always double check your work
* Charting... meaning that everything should be documented. That is why it is said "If it is not written in the chart it did not happen". Use facts only in charting to keep it accurate.
