The progress notes are where nurses document the effectiveness of interventions using both subjective and objective data. Progress notes provide ongoing documentation of the patient's response to treatment and care interventions. Subjective data includes what the patient reports (feelings, pain levels, concerns), while objective data includes measurable observations (vital signs, behaviors, physical findings). The initial plans contain the original care strategies, the database holds baseline information, and the problem list identifies issues to address. However, it is specifically in the progress notes where nurses evaluate and document whether interventions are working effectively by combining both types of data to show patient outcomes and response to care.
