In a SOAP progress note, a radiographic finding of a periapical radiolucency belongs under which section?

SOAP = Subjective (patient-reported symptoms/history), Objective (measurable clinical/radiographic/exam findings), Assessment (diagnosis), and Plan (treatment). A radiographic radiolucency is an objective clinician-observed finding.Other options: Subjective = what the patient reports; Assessment = the diagnosis; Plan = the treatment steps.Key exam takeaway: SOAP: S = patient's words, O = exam/radiographic findings, A = diagnosis, P = treatment plan.
