Wording decision applied (7 Oct 2026, dev)<\/h2>\n

The rule is now the customer's: where the forms word a question or a choice differently, the screen shows the fullest wording.<\/strong> "Fullest" means the longest. If two are the same length, the first form's wins. This covers all 40 questions and the 3 choice lists that were waiting. Our plain question stays underneath as "Ask: \u2026".<\/p>\n

Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sex: Male \/ Female<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Emergency priority class: the disaster plan's paragraph<\/strong> for each class.<\/li>\n
  • Service tasks: "1 - Bathing \/ Ba\u00f1ar"<\/strong>, on the question and on the read-only task lists. This one is set by name to the PAS Service Plan's wording. The Task Guide's headings are sometimes longer (for example "06\/07 \u2014 Toileting (does not include transfer and ambulation)"), so the longest-wording rule alone would have mixed the two.<\/li>\n
  • Other services: None, Skilled Nursing Services, Home Health Aide, Day Activity and Health Services (DAHS), Meals, \u2026 One fix was needed here. The PAS Service Plan has a single "Skilled Home Health Aide" box that covers both skilled nursing and an aide, and an "Other" box that covers six more. A box like that no longer counts as the wording for any one choice. Without this, skilled nursing would have been labelled "Skilled Home Health Aide".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Two results worth a second look.<\/strong> Both come from the rule, not from a choice we made:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Medicaid number \u2192 "Client \/ Patient's Number"<\/strong>. "Medicaid #" is on 3 forms and is shorter. If the customer wants "Client Name"-style consistency, this could be standardised the same way, for example to "Medicaid #".<\/li>\n
    • Sex \u2192 "Gender"<\/strong>. Only the Client Information Sheet says "Gender"; the other two forms say "Sex". It wins only because it is longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Either one would be a single entry in FORM_V2_STANDARD_WORDING<\/code>.<\/p>\n
