Answer to Question 1

C
The statement is an example of the P of PIE documentation because it describes the client's problem.
The S in SOAP documentation represents subjective data (verbalizations of the client).
Focus charting does not concentrate on problems only.
The R in DAR documentation is the response of the client. This situation describes the client's problem, not the client's response.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse's goal is for the patient to be on opioid medication and to have normal bowel elimination. Normal stools are soft and formed. Ceasing pain medication is not a desired outcome for the patient. Tenderness in the left lower quadrant indicates constipation and does not further address bowel elimination. Present bowel sounds indicate that the bowels are moving; however, they are not an indication of defecation.
