Under PCT, which component goes?

• A. Treatment
• B. Evaluation
• C. Redness
• D. Pain

Answer: (A)

In the PCT framework, the focus is on what is actually done to help the patient—the treatment actions. The component that goes is the treatment because it describes the real therapeutic interventions applied during the session. Redness and pain are signs of the tissue’s response that you monitor, but they aren’t the procedural part of the plan. Evaluation is a separate step that assesses status and guides next steps, not the ongoing treatment itself. So the treatment component best fits under PCT.
