Question 8

Focus charting (DAR)

Answer 8

Data, action, response

incorporates not only medical and nursing diagnoses but patient concerns and behavior, therapies, and responses.

Question 9

Charting by exception—CBE

The disadvantage is that patients’ problems are distributed across the record, and the record does not show how information is related and care is coordinated to meet patients’ needs.

Question 11

Case management plan and critical pathways

Answer 11

incorporates an interdisciplinary approach to documenting patient care. Critical pathways are interdisciplinary care plans that include patient problems, key interventions, and expected outcomes within an established time frame.
•Unexpected outcomes, unmet goals, and interventions not specified within the critical pathway time frame are called variances.

Question 12

Critical Pathways

Answer 12

Multidisciplinary approach to document client care
Standardized POC summarized into pathways with a case management plan
1-2 page integrated care plan for problems

Answer 15

Many hospitals now have computerized syThe summary automatically updates as nurses stems that provide information in the form of a patient care summary that is often printed for each patient during each shift. make decisions, and data (e.g., orders) are entered into the computer.
•In some settings, a Kardex is kept at the nurses’ station. An updated Kardex eliminates the need for repeated referral to the chart for routine information throughout the day.

Question 16

Answer 16

Preprinted, established guidelines used to care for patients who have similar health problems

Question 17

Discharge summary forms

Answer 17

includes medications, diet, community resources, follow-up care, and whom to contact in case of an emergency or for questions

Question 18

Question 21

Home Care Documentation

Answer 21

Documentation in the home care system is different from that in other areas of nursing.
•Some parts of the record remain in the home with the patient; other information is needed in an office setting. Thus duplication of documentation is often necessary. Agency policies indicate which forms nurses need to leave at their office versus which forms must be taken into the homes.
•Evolving computerized patient records are making it easier for records to be available in multiple locations.

Question 22

Long-Term Health Care Documentation

Answer 22

Long-term care documentation is interdisciplinary and is closely linked with fiscal requirements of outside agencies.
Increasing numbers of older adults and people with disabilities in the United States require care in long-term health care facilities.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 includes Medicare and Medicaid legislation for long-term care documentation.
