In a SOAP note, which section records the patient's response to treatment?

Explanation:
The Assessment section records how the patient has responded to treatment. It brings together the patient’s experiences (from the Subjective, like reported changes) and the clinician’s observations (from the Objective) to form a clinical interpretation of progress, whether there’s improvement, stability, or any adverse effects, and to guide prognosis and future care. The Plan outlines what will be done next, so it doesn’t capture the actual response itself.
