Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Charting should be consecutive,line by line (not every other line);if space is left,a line should be drawn horizontally through it,and the nurse's name should be signed at the end.No lines should be left blank.All entries should be written legibly and in black ink.Each entry should end with the nurse's signature and title.For computer documentation,the nurse should keep the password secure.
