Julie is a physical therapist assistant entering notes into a patient chart at the nurse’s station, where visitors come to ask questions.  Jeff, a physical therapist, steps out of a patient’s room and asks Julie for help.  Julie leaves the chart open on the desk, then goes to assist Jeff in the patient’s room.  True or False:  Leaving the chart open on the desk when the physical therapist assistant leaves the area is OK because she will be right back and trying to find her place in the chart when she gets back would take too much time. Type the word “true” or “false” and then provide your rationale.
