Which term describes documented restrictions affecting patient care activities?

• A. OASIS Manual
• B. Physician's Order
• C. Active Diagnosis
• D. Multidiscipline Cases

Answer: (B)

Restrictions on what care activities are allowed or required come from the physician's orders. These official directives authorize specific treatments, therapies, medications, and any precautions or activity limits, and clinicians follow them to guide patient care. Changes or additions to restrictions generally require a new or updated order. The other terms here serve different roles: the OASIS Manual is a data collection guide, not care restrictions; an Active Diagnosis is the patient's current medical condition, not treatment directives; and Multidiscipline Cases relate to coordinating care among team members, not documenting formal restrictions.
