The practical nurse (PN) is charting vital signs on a hand-written flow sheet and realizes that an error has been made. What should the PN do to rectify this error?

A. Obliterating the entry could make the record look messy and might not meet documentation standards. B. Notifying the charge nurse might be appropriate for major errors or if the policy requires it, but it might not be necessary for a simple correction like this. C. Drawing a single line through the erroneous entry and inserting the correct information maintains the integrity of the chart and shows the correction clearly. D. Charting the correct information in the next column might create confusion about the sequence of data and might not clearly indicate the correction made.
