The nurse is documenting wound care in a client's electronic medical record (EMR) when the computer system shuts down. Which action should the nurse implement first?

A. Notify information services department of the situation is the correct first step. The nurse should immediately report the issue to the information services department to resolve the problem with the computer system. This ensures that the issue is addressed promptly and minimizes any delays in documentation or patient care. B. Wait for notification that the system has been rebooted is not the best action. While waiting for the system to reboot might be necessary, the nurse should first notify the information services department to expedite the resolution of the issue. C. Identify information as late entry in the record may be necessary once the system is restored, but the immediate priority is to report the system failure so that it can be addressed and the documentation can be completed correctly. D. Print electronic medical record (EMR) from backup server may be an option if the system cannot be restored, but the first step should be to notify the information services department. The backup server can be used if needed after the issue is reported.
