GUARANTEED PASS
SOAP Notes - CORRECT ANSWER-S Subjective data—the information, including the absence or
presence of pertinent symptoms, that the patient tells you
O Objective data—your direct observations from what you see, hear, smell, and touch and from
diagnostic test results
A Assessment—your interpretations and conclusions, your rationale, the diagnostic possibilities,
and present and anticipated problems
P Plan—diagnostic testing, therapeutic modalities, need for consultants, and rationale for these
decisions
Ethical Considerations - CORRECT ANSWER-• Autonomy: The patient's need for self-
determination. Autonomy suggests that choices exist, and a patient may choose between
alternatives. Uncertainty exists when the patient is a child or is cognitively impaired. Parents,
guardians, family, or other significant persons should then be included, and the boundaries of
that participation must be clearly set. In some cases, the boundaries are established by an
advance directive from the patient. Competency is not always easily determined, and there may
be disagreement. Both the mental status examination (see Chapter 7) and consultation with
individuals who know the person well can assist.
• Beneficence: Do good for the patient. This may be too eagerly pursued and may result in a
paternalism that might preclude autonomy of the patient. However, paternalism may have
some benefit when used with constraint and respect for autonomy.
• Nonmaleficence: Do no harm to the patient.
, • Utilitarianism: Consider appropriate use of resources with concern for the greater good of the
larger community. Choose wisely.
• Fairness and justice: Recognize the balance between autonomy and competing interests of the
family and community.
• Deontologic imperatives: Our dutiful responsibilities for offering care are established by
tradition and in cultural contexts. Because cultures vary, these may not be universally binding
for all patients. Ethical principles can come into conflict in any given circumstance.
Cultural Awareness and Diversity - CORRECT ANSWER-The stereotype, a fixed image of any
group that denies the potential of originality or individuality within the group, must be rejected.
When this occurs, the beliefs and feelings (prejudices) come to mind about what members of
that particular group are like.

Chapter 2: Cultural Competency
Functional Assessments - CORRECT ANSWER-Functional assessments are an attempt to

should be made for all older adults and for any person limited by disease or disability, acute or
chronic.
