Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

The client record is the only permanent legal document that details the nurse's interactions with the client. It is the best defense if a client or client surrogate alleges nursing negligence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

The SOAP method of charting (Subjective data, Objective data, Assessment, Plan) begins with the information provided by the client, such as a complaint of pain. The nurse's objective observations and assessments follow, with interventions, actions, and plans later in the charting entry.
