After an entry in the medical record has been written or keyed and an error is discovered, what procedure should be followed to correct the error? (a) use a pencil eraser to remove the entry on a written record; then write in the correction. (b) use the delete or backspace key if the entry was keyed in; then key in the correction. (c) draw a line through the error; then call the patient’s physician. (d) none of the above.

(C) Draw a line through the error; then call the patient’s physician.

Explanation:

According to my research on medical procedures, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the best procedure that should be taken in this situation would be to draw a line through the error; then call the patient’s physician. By doing so you get rid of the the error and by telling the patient's physician you get rid of any possibility of the physician still thinking that the error was something that was already done.
