Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Standardized care plans were developed to save documentation time. These plans may be based on an institution's standards of practice, thereby helping to provide a high quality of nursing care. Standardized care plans are usually individualized to address each client's specific needs.
Rationale 2: Traditional care plans are written for each client, are specific, and are individualized for that client.
Rationale 3: Critical pathways are used in case management, involving a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care.
Rationale 4: The Kardex is a concise method of organizing and recording data about a client, making information quickly accessible for all health professionals.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Computerized documentation is a way to manage the volume of information required in a client's chart, and different systems may include a variety of setups and programs.
Rationale 2: Focus charting is organized into data, action, and response sections, referred to as DAR.
Rationale 3: SOAP charting is a way to organize data and information in the client's record: S = subjective data; O = objective data; A = assessment; P = plan.
Rationale 4: Charting by exception (CBE) is a documentation system in which only abnormal or significant findings or exceptions to norms are recorded. Flow sheets, standards of nursing care, and bedside access to chart forms are all incorporated into CBE.
