Explanation:

A narrative chart is a type of recording quick and succinct data about a patient's health status, as well as everything that happened to him and all the treatments performed while he was in the hospital. This is so that other nurses and doctors have a sense of what to do when contacting the patient.

The narrative graph above was made using the model called DAIR, where the information is based on what each letter represents. The letter "D" represents what the nurse was able to visualize about the patient's condition. The letter "A" represents the assessment to form a pre-conclusion about the patient's condition. The letter "I" represents the interventions that were performed to help the patient.  The letter "R" means the response that the patient had to the interventions and treatments to which he was submitted.
