Question 13

(Staging of disease)

Answer 13

Question 14

Means ranking the patient problems with the most urgent problems at the top of the list and the least urgent problems at the bottom of the list.

Answer 14

Prioritize the problems

Question 15

are not ranked but are simply listed at the bottom of the problem list.

Answer 15

Historical (inactive) problems

Question 16

Helps clinicians plan their workload and patient interventions.

Answer 16

Problem Prioritization

Question 17

Active problems are problems that require some kind of drug or nondrug intervention to resolve and/or manage the problem.

Answer 17

Step 1 - Identify the Active Problems (2. Prioritize the problems)

Question 18

Rank-order the active patient problems. One approach to ranking patients problems is to identify the problem that needs the most immediate attention and the rank the remaining active problems in order the need for intervention.

Answer 18

Step 3 - Rank the Problems (2. Prioritize the Problems)

Question 19

Once the prioritized patient problem list is developed, the next step is to select patient-specific drug.

Answer 19

3. Select Patient - Specific Drug and Non Drug Interventions

Question 20

All drug and nondrug interventions should be in the context of the specific short-term and long- term goals.

Answer 20

Step 1 - Determine short-term and long-term goals of theraphy (3. Select Patient-Specific Drug and Non Drug Interventions)

Question 21

Identify all classes of drugs and possible therapeutic approaches for each problem.

Answer 21

Step 2 - Create a list of options (3. Select Patient-specific drug and non-drug interventions)

Question 22

Once all therapeutic options are identified, eliminate options based on the comparative effectiveness of the drugs.

Answer 22

Step 3 - Eliminate options based on patient specific and external factors (3. Select Patient-Specific Drug and Non-Drug Interventions)

Question 23

Decisions about appropriate drug and nondrug interventions are based on past patients experiences.

Answer 23

Step 4 - Select Appropriate Drug and Nondrug Interventions (3. Select Patient-Specific Drug and Non-Drug Interventions)

Question 24

An important part of the planning process is anticipation of potential patient problems with prescribed and/or recommended drug and non drug interventions (“what if”).

Answer 24

Step 5 - Identify Alternative Interventions (3. Select Patient-Specific Drug and Nondrug Interventions)

Question 25

The process of identifying the subjective and objective data, assessing the problem, developing a specific therapeutic and monitoring plan is called “SOAPing the problem”.

Answer 25

SOAP FORMAT. (4. Develop a monitoring format)

Question 26

SOAP

Answer 26

Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan.
