This second edition has been enhanced with even more examples and digital content. Laws, standards, and regulations dictate
the 'WHAT'. This guide will equip you with the 'HOW'. The guide she is presenting today is suitable for all healthcare professionals,
especially nurses. It is designed for quick reference and to help you adapt your note writing to current standards.
