Question

Which medical record format is endorsed by the American Animal Hospital Association?

1) SOAP
2) PIE
3) ACVIM
4) AVDC

Answer 1

The SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) is the endorsed medical record format by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Step-by-step explanation:

The medical record format endorsed by the American Animal Hospital Association is SOAP. SOAP stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. This format provides a clear and structured way of documenting patient history, physical exam findings, diagnostics, treatment plans, and patient care. Unlike SOAP, PIE (Problem, Intervention, Evaluation), ACVIM (American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine), and AVDC (American Veterinary Dental College) are not record formats; ACVIM and AVDC are professional organizations.
