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.

Answer to Question 2

B
The environment is NOT a risk factor; the other options are physiological risk factors.
