Providing quality nursing care is one of priorities of contemporary nursery. The problem of our work was the quality of keeping the nursing documentation in practice. The purpose of our work was to elaborate a local standard of keeping the nursing documentation and use of internal audit methods for monitoring the process of fulfilling the criteria of the local standard of keeping the nursing documentation at inpatient departments of health institutions, which grant services as general hospitals. The results of the audit are facts, which point out deviations and failures in keeping the nursing documentation.
