Which section would contain the plan of care?

• A. Plan
• B. Subjective
• C. Objective
• D. Assessment

Answer: (A)

The plan of care is outlined in the Plan section. This is where you detail what will be done for the patient, including treatment goals, specific modalities or interventions, frequency and duration of therapy, progression criteria, any precautions, and criteria for discharge or next steps. In other parts of the note, the Subjective section captures what the patient reports, the Objective section records measurable findings, and the Assessment section provides the clinician’s interpretation and synthesis of those findings to guide the plan.
