Question

When recording information in the client record the correct soap format would be what

Answer 1

SOAP format stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. This is important in assessing patients, especially those who came in for a follow-up, for their (1) subjective complaint or the short history of the patient; (2) objective findings which is the physical examination of the health practitioner; (3) assessment or the initial impression of the patient's diagnosis; and (4) the plan for management whether diagnostic, therapeutic, or both.
