A comprehensive re-assessment of each patient and revision in the POA is conducted how often?

• A. Monthly
• B. Annually
• C. 30 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

In PD program management, you reassess a patient comprehensively every year and revise the Plan of Action to keep the care plan aligned with current needs and goals. This annual review is purposefully thorough, updating the patient’s clinical status, treatment adequacy, home circumstances, and education, and making any needed changes to medications, PD prescription, or care targets. Regular yearly reevaluation helps catch changes in health, technique, or lifestyle that could affect outcomes and ensures the plan stays current with evolving guidelines and patient preferences. While more frequent touchpoints happen for specific issues, the formal comprehensive reassessment and POA revision is conducted annually because it balances depth of review with practical scheduling and quality expectations.
