Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Problem-oriented documentation uses the first letter of key words to organize data: S for subjective
data, O for objective data, A for assessment, P for plan, I for intervention, and E for evaluation.
Option A is an example of PIE charting. Option B is an example of focus documentation. Option D
is an example of narrative documentation.

Option C tells the nurse that the client is experiencing auditory hallucinations.
