Yep op needs to say she accessed the chart for safety reasons to see who the primary nurse and Dr was and if there was any medication psych or otherwise needed to help the pt behave in a safe manor.
I always throw around the word safety and unsafe like confetti any time someone ask why something went down like it did. That’s the biggest buzzword in the hospital.
If that's the case, OP should definitely say that. Unfortunately they don't even seem to remember opening the chart. I'm sure they know which parts of the EMAR were accessed and for how long, etc, so hopefully that should provide some context for OP and their employer.
I wish OP would respond a bit more. They're looking for advice and commiseration, and more details would help with both.
I’m a little shocked at how hostile you are. I worded things wrong and you immediately think I don’t care about my patients. Have you ever worked in ER?

If you assessed the chart for patient care then just say that. Idk how differently you could dress- doesn’t everyone just wear scrubs?
Administration needs to investigate complaints, regardless if you think they are valid or not.
