Question: 1 / 400

What does the 'S' in SOAP format stand for in health care records?

Social

Subjective

The 'S' in SOAP format stands for Subjective, as it refers to the patient's personal opinions, feelings and symptoms. This includes information gathered through conversation and observation, such as their perception of their health, any pain they may be experiencing, and their report of symptoms. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the 'S' component of SOAP format. While social information may be included in a patient's subjective history, it is not the primary focus. Structured refers to the format of the SOAP notes and does not represent a specific component. Signs, on the other hand, falls under the 'O' component of SOAP format, which stands for objective observations and measurements. Therefore, 'B Subjective' is the correct answer.
