Which of the following choices best describes the function of O, in the acronym S.O.A.P.?
- A . Homework
- B . Evaluation
- C . Summary of findings
- D . Client experience
C
Explanation:
The S.O.A.P acronym stands for:
S – Subjective: This is where the therapist records the client’s reported experiences, feelings, and opinions about their condition.
O – Objective: This section contains factual, observable, and measurable data that the therapist can collect during the session, which is where the summary of findings or clinical observations will be noted.
A – Assessment: In this section, the therapist will evaluate the objective and subjective information to assess the client’s progress and the effectiveness of the treatment.
P – Plan: Here, the therapist outlines the treatment plan or the next steps for managing the client’s condition.
So, the "O" in S.O.A.P represents Objective information which consists of observations and findings collected during the therapy session. It doesn’t involve homework, evaluation or the client’s experience, which makes option C the most appropriate choice.
