The following statement: "Upon exertion, the client is wheezing and experiencing some dysp-nea," is an example of:
1. The "P" of PIE
2. FOCUS documentation
3. The "R" in DAR documentation
4. The "S" in SOAP documentation
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).
