already charted on the flowsheet/checklist.- DON'T make or sign an entry for someone else. DON'T change
and entry because someone tells you.- DON'T label a patient or show bias.- DON'T try to cover up a mistake or incident by inaccuracy or

or no complaints- DON'T use notebook paper or pencil.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
- Focus charting must be evident at least once every shift.- Focus charting must be patient-oriented not nursing task-
oriented.- Indicate the date and time of entry in the first column.
- Separate the topic words for the body of notes: a. Focus note written on the second column.
b. Data, Action and Response on the third column.- Sign name ( e.g. Geraldine M. Amiscaray, RN or G. Amiscaray,
RN) for every time entry- Document only patients concern and/or plan of care e.g. health
teaching per shift. Hence, GENERAL NOTES ARE NOT ALLOWED!- Document patients status on admission, for every transfer to
/from another unit, or discharge.- Follow the Dos of documentation- Use BLUE or BLACK ink of pen for AM and PM shift, RED ink for
NIGHT shift.
Fdar chartingFocus identifies the content or purpose of the narrative entry and is separated from the body of the notes in order to promote easy data retrieval and communication.
Data - statements contain objective and/or subjective information.
Action statements that contain nursing interventions (basic, perspective, independent) past, present or future. - it also contains collaborative orders
Response Evident patient outcomes or response
INFORMATION FROM ALL THREE CATEGORIES (DATA,ACTION,RESPONSE) should be used only as they are RELEVANT or AVAILABLE. However, all appropriate information should be included to ensure complete documentation.
DATA and ACTION are recorded at one hour, andRESPONSE is not added until later, when the patient outcome is evident.
RESPONSE is used alone to indicate a care of plan goal has been accomplished
ACTION and RESPONSE are repeated without additional data to show the sequence of decision making based on evaluating patient response to the initial intervention.
-
DATA is used alone when the purpose of the note is to document assessment finding and there is no flowsheet /checklist for that purpose
Begin the note with ACTION when the patient's interaction begins with intervention or when including data would be unnecessary repetition.
