    Focus charting is a method for organizing health information using nursing terminology to describe a patient's health status and care. A focus note includes data about subjective and objective information supporting the focus, nursing actions taken, and the patient's response. It concludes by stating whether care plan outcomes have been attained. A sample focus note describes a patient complaining of abdominal pain rated 9/10. The nurse administered Demerol IM, repositioned the patient, and 30 minutes later the pain was reduced to a 3. The note concludes the care plan outcome was met. Focus charting organizes health information in a systematic way to document nursing assessments, interventions, and patient responses to care.
