Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The statement is an example of the "P" of PIE documentation because it describes the patient's problem.The "S" in SOAP documentation represents subjective data (verbalizations of the patient).Focus charting does not concentrate on problems only.The "R" in DAR documentation is the response of the patient.This situation describes the patient's problem,not the patient's response.
