Is it okay to use endorse as in handing off something to do to incoming nurse by outoing nurse?
No, a nurse has a legal responsibility to document anything and everything that's seen and performed for a patient.

If there's a certain task that you can't get to, you can inform the incoming nurse but you can't document anything about it.
What is the most important aspect in a courtroom when the legal case concerns a patient?
The patient's medical record /medical chart is likely the most important aspect in a court case that involves a patient. If a medical or nursing action isn't documented, it never occurred--legally speaking. If physician or nursing notes do not support what a nurse or doctor says, they have no proof of what was or wasn't ordered, done, said, instructed, or patient's verbal or physical response(s). So document, document. If you don't document, it never happened.However, omissions that only serve the provider are also suspect! If a nurse fails to document a medication, for example, there are other records (such as billing) that can confirm what med the nurse took to administer. So don't try to cover up your mistakes either.
