A nurse is documenting client information using PIE charting. Which information would the nurse expect to document?

A) Client assessment
B) Intervention carried out
C) Written plan of care
D) Multidisciplinary interventions


Ans: B

In the PIE notes, the nurse documents the problem, intervention and evaluation. Thus the nurse would document the intervention carried out. Client assessment is not a part of the PIE notes, because this information is recorded on flow sheets for each shift. Although the PIE system uses a nursing plan-of-care format, there is no written plan of care. The PIE system is not multidisciplinary; it provides a documentation system for nursing only.
