In the SOAP note, which part describes what you did and how you did it?

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

Answer: (D)

The Plan shows the care you provided and how you will continue it. It lists the interventions you performed or ordered—such as medications given with dose and route, procedures done, tests or referrals ordered—and any patient education or instructions, plus the follow-up plan and how you’ll monitor response or adjust treatment. This is the part that records what you did and how you intend to proceed, which is why it fits the prompt best. The other sections have different roles: Subjective captures the patient’s reported symptoms, Objective lists what you observed or measured, and Assessment states your diagnostic impression or clinical reasoning.
