What does a plan flag 'active' indicate?

• A. It indicates the plan is archived
• B. It indicates the plan is a draft
• C. It indicates the plan is pending approval
• D. It indicates the plan is the current, deliverable reference for the patient’s course.

Answer: (D)

Active on a plan means this is the plan currently in use for the patient's care. It’s the live, deliverable reference that guides treatment decisions, orders, and the patient’s course. Archived plans are kept for records and aren’t used to direct care, drafts aren’t finalized, and plans waiting for approval aren’t in effect yet. So marking a plan as active signals it is the current version clinicians should follow.
