Chart consecutively, line by line (not every other line); every other line is incorrect and must be corrected by the preceptor. If space is left, draw a line horizontally through it, and place your signature and credentials at the end. Every other line should not be left blank. All the other behaviors are correct and need no follow-up. Documenting only for yourself is an appropriate behavior. End each entry with signature and title/credentials. For computer documentation, keep your password to yourself.
