Narrative:

Cleared by lax ground to taxi right turn taxiway B, hold short taxiway P. Captain instead turned right taxiway C. We had another aircraft opposite direction to us on taxiway C. I should have paid more attention to our position and advised captain of error. I was 'heads down' with cockpit duties.
