    Ati health assessment proctored exam

    The nurse is assessing the seven attributes of a client's symptom using the mnemonic OLD CART. In which section of the comprehensive health history will the nurse document this information?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. History of present illness: The OLD CART mnemonic is used to evaluate the characteristics of a symptom, which is documented under the history of present illness. B. Initial Information: This section includes basic demographic and background information rather than detailed symptom analysis. C. Review of Systems: This section includes a systematic review of body systems and their functions, not the detailed attributes of a specific symptom. D. Health Patterns: This section covers the client’s overall health patterns and lifestyle but not the detailed attributes of a specific symptom.
