The incident report is not mentioned in the patient's medical record.Instead,the nurse documents in the patient's medical record an objective description of what happened,what the nurse observed,and follow-up actions taken.It is important to evaluate and document the patient's response to the error or incident.The patient's health care provider should be contacted whenever an incident happens.
