Is it okay for a nurse to chart on a 7pm-7am patient chart if she is only present 3 hours in the facility for that shift?

It is fraud to chart on a patient you did not provide care for. She must chart for the 3 hours she was responsible for the patient but not for the 9 that she wasn't at the facility.

A patient with a chart is usually in the hospital. With that said, most hospital stays including the tests done for a patient are paid for by an insurance company.
