What is the final step in the decision-making model?

1. Assess

2. Gathering

3. Document

4. Decide

The correct answer is: Decide

The final step in the decision-making model is to decide. This means that after assessing the situation, gathering information, and documenting the process, the final and most crucial step is to make a decision based on the information and analysis. Option A (Assess) is incorrect because it is the first step in the model, not the final one. Option B (Gathering) is incorrect because while gathering information is an important step, it is not the final one. Option C (Document) is incorrect because documenting the process is a necessary step, but it does not involve actually making the final decision. The correct final step is to decide, which involves making a choice based on all the previous steps and information gathered.
