title: A documentation approach for faith community nursing.
abstract: Faith Community Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (American Nurses Association and Health Ministries Association, 2005) establishes the professional responsibility for documenting relevant data in a retrievable format that is both confidential and secure. Documentation systems used by faith community nurses (FCNs) need to be accurate, yet simple and concise. This article presents an approach to documenting FCN activities, the provided care, and outcomes of that care, while emphasizing the use of standardized nursing language.
