Each entry includes data,actions,and patient response (DAR)for the particular patient situation.Focus charting (DAR)is a unique narrative format in that it places less emphasis on patient problems and instead focuses on patient concerns such as a sign or symptom,a condition,a behavior,or a significant event.There are no reaction,recommendation,recovery,or assessment in DAR.
