In which part of a problem-oriented health record would you find the notation "Blood pressure adequately controlled"?

The correct answer is found in the Assessment portion of a problem-oriented health record because this section is focused on the clinician's evaluation of the patient's condition based on the information gathered during the encounter. The notation "Blood pressure adequately controlled" reflects a judgment made by the healthcare provider regarding the patient's health status and the effectiveness of treatment, which is central to the Assessment. It integrates both the clinical findings and the healthcare provider's interpretation of those findings, establishing the overall progress in managing the patient's health issues.

In contrast, the Objective section contains measurable, observable data gathered during the examination or from diagnostic tests, such as vital signs, but would not typically include an evaluative statement. The Plan section outlines the strategy for addressing the patient's health concerns, including any proposed treatments or interventions, and does not contain evaluative remarks about the patient's current status. The Subjective section documents the patient's reported symptoms or concerns and personal experiences, which do not include evaluations or clinical assessments made by the provider.
