Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The abbreviation b.i.d. is a commonly used abbreviation that means twice a day. The abbreviation q.d. indicates every day; q.i.d indicates four times a day; and q.o.d indicates every other day.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In SOAP charting, everyone involved in a client's care makes entries in the same location in the chart. Narrative charting is time-consuming to write and read, as it involves sorting through the lengthy notation for specific information that correlates the client's problems with care and progress. Focus charting follows a DAR model. PIE charting is a method of recording the client's progress under the headings of problem, intervention, and evaluation.
