Where is the Code documented?

Where is the Code documented?

• A. In the IV placement log
• B. In the Discharge Summary
• C. In the Equipment Log
• D. In the Code Narrator activity tab

Answer: (D)

During a code, real-time documentation is captured in the Code Narrator activity tab. This is the designated place to log the sequence of events, who participated, times of interventions, medications given, defibrillation attempts, rhythm checks, and patient response. It provides a precise, time-stamped narrative that can be reviewed later for quality improvement and legal purposes. Other records track separate things: the IV placement log records IV attempts, the Discharge Summary covers details at discharge, and the Equipment Log tracks devices used. None of those are meant to capture the live, step-by-step code events, so the Code Narrator activity tab is the correct location for documenting a code.
