Answer to Question 1

C
Focus charting is a unique narrative format in that it places less emphasis on patient problems and instead focuses on patient concerns such as a sign or symptom, a condition, a behavior, or a significant event. Each entry includes data, actions, and patient response (DAR) for the particular patient situation.
