Margaret,
 you are required to "write" on all RAPs that are triggered, and discuss the triggering items.  Then you indicate whether you plan to proceed or not.  If you will not proceed, you should explain why you are not proceeding.

Are you required to write on items that you decide to care plan or just items that you choose not to proceed.
