What does the Plan section describe?

• A. The discharge instructions and admission orders
• B. The HPI and ROS
• C. The patient demographics
• D. The allergy list

Answer: (A)

The Plan section describes the plan of care and disposition for the patient. It details what will be done for the illness—therapies, medications, required tests, procedures, and any consultations. It also includes discharge instructions and follow-up plans so the patient knows how to manage after leaving the facility. For patients who will be admitted, the Plan lists admission orders guiding inpatient care. Other parts of the note provide history, demographics, and allergy information, not the plan of care.
