Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Documenting the development of a pressure ulcer is part of the initial assessment of the patient's condition and should be documented in the Assessment section of the ADIME charting. The Diagnosis section is where the RD identifies and describes the patient's condition or nutrition problem. The Intervention section includes specific nutrition interventions implemented to address the diagnosis, and the Monitoring section includes information regarding the ongoing assessment of the patient's progress. The Evaluation section includes the outcome of the interventions, including changes in the patient's nutrition status or the resolution of nutrition-related problems.
