Answer to Question 1

D
The PIE charting format organizes information by the client's problems and requires a daily assessment record and progress notes, thus eliminating the need for a nursing care plan. It documents, in a comprehensive manner, the client information. It does not assess the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
The SBAR technique is used as a mechanism to give a handoff report by enabling a focused communication between healthcare team members. DAR is used in Focus Charting, SOAP is a method for documenting nursing care. The nursing admission assessment is completed and documented at the time of admission.
