Are You Using the Correct Language in Your Documentation?

Good read

interesting

Nice information

Very interesting article to read, very well written and gave me food for thought, as I looked up the references and I learned a lot of new acronyms that ought not ever be used in patients/clients notes as is is vitally important to only ever create respectful notes on clients/patients There is a reference about patients who are comfortable with acknowledging their sexuality, and that health staff can use neutral relationship terms like ‘partner’ or ‘spouse’, as opposed to the heteronormative ‘husband’ and ‘wife. I am more than happy to go with this ; however I do find it very insulting and disturbing to be directed to now not document husband or wife and only ever refer to them as partners, as this is truly offensive to a great deal of especially older persons who regard themselves as husbands and wives and many have done so for many years and to these people to be a husband or a wife is an important title and ought be replaced by partner or spouse. Bottom Line = We need to be respectful to all persons.

Informative.
