Which utility completely disassociates a note from a patient's chart?

• A. Remove Notes
• B. Detach Notes
• C. Unlink Notes
• D. Delete Notes

Answer: (D)

Disassociating a note from a patient chart means breaking the link so that the note no longer belongs to that chart. Deleting the note accomplishes this completely because it removes the note record from the system, so it cannot be retrieved or tied to the patient’s chart in normal views. Other options typically detach or unlink the note from the chart without erasing the underlying record, so the note may still exist in the system or history and could potentially be reattached later. So deleting notes is the action that fully disassociates the note from the chart.
