Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
These data are examples of the P of PIE because they describe the problem. FOCUS charting does not concentrate on only problems. It is structured according to a client's concerns. The R in DAR documentation is the response of the client. This situation describes the client's problem, not the client's response. The S in SOAP documentation represents subjective data (verbaliza-tions of the client).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Information within a recorded entry needs to be complete, containing appropriate and essential information. This notation (0830) provides the time and action taken by the nurse including the reason for doing so. This entry (1230) does not indicate what the vital signs were. This entry (0700) does not provide the specific amount the client drank. Stating adequate is subjective, not objective. This notation (0900) does not have the client describe his or her pain or rate it ac-cording to a pain scale for comparison later. It also does not indicate whether the client's pain was in the lower left or lower right quadrant, or both.
