ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to apparatus used in accumulating, in machine readable form, oral consumption information concerning an individual patient. The invention is preferably embodied in a book comprising a plurality of record members which are bound together as leaves of the book. Each record member has obverse and reverse sides and defines on one of its sides a plurality of item display areas. Each item display area comprises an item representation of an item for oral consumption, a multiple choice entry location where machine readable information can be entered, and indicia serving to interrelate the item representation and the multiple choices. Each item representation includes a written description of the represented item and a picture illustrating both the nature of the represented item and a unit quantity thereof. To interrelate the item representation and the entry location, the indicia describe discrete selectable quantities of the represented item with the described quantities bearing fixed ratios to the illustrated unit quantity. The record members can be detached from the book to facilitate digital data processing of the recorded oral consumption information.
