A health care facility plans to evaluate and revise the plan of care for a client based on the client's medical records
The physician, dietitian, and the nurse involved in the client's care are required to collate all of the information for easy access. Which style do you think the agency is following in order to record the client details? A) Focus charting
B) Narrative charting
C) PIE charting
D) SOAP charting
D
Feedback:
In SOAP charting, everyone involved in a client's care makes entries in the same location in the chart. Narrative charting is time-consuming to write and read, as it involves sorting through the lengthy notation for specific information that correlates the client's problems with care and progress. Focus charting follows a DAR model. PIE charting is a method of recording the client's progress under the headings of problem, intervention, and evaluation.
