Within I-SBAR, which component documents the actions taken and the patient’s response?

• A. Identify
• B. Situation
• C. Rx (Treatment)
• D. Background

Answer: (C)

The part of I-SBAR that captures what you did for the patient and how they responded is the Rx (Treatment) section. This is where you record the actions taken—medications administered, procedures performed, IV fluids, oxygen therapy, timing and dosages—and then note the patient’s response or any changes in status as a result. It differentiates from Identify (who the patient is), Situation (the immediate issue), Background (relevant history), and Assessment (your clinical interpretation). Documenting the actions and the patient’s response in Rx ensures clear communication of what was done and how the patient is responding, which guides subsequent care and handoffs.
