List an advantage and disadvantage of both source-oriented and problem-oriented records
One advantage of source-oriented records is that they organize reports from each source together, making it easy to determine the assessment, treatments, and observations that a discipline has provided. A disadvantage is that it is not possible to quickly determine all of the patient's problems.
