hoitoohjeensa

Hoitoohjeensa is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “the care instructions belonging to someone,” and it represents the third-person singular possessive form of hoito-ohje, which translates to care or treatment instructions. It is used to refer to the specific guidelines a person is expected to follow in relation to care, treatment, or medication.

In Finnish, hoitoohjeensa is formed from the compound hoito-ohje plus the possessive suffix -nsä (-nsa, -nsä). The suffix marks ownership by a third-person singular subject and agrees with the word’s structure. The compound can be written with a hyphen (hoito-ohjeensa) or without (hoitoohjeensa), with style guides allowing both forms.

Usage contexts include medical records, patient information sheets, and professional communications within healthcare, where the exact owner of the instructions is important. The form allows speakers and writers to avoid repeating the noun hoitoohje when the owner has already been established in the discourse.

Examples:

Potilas sai hoitoohjeensa.

Lääkäri tarkisti hoitoohjeensa ennen kotiuttamista.

Hoitoohjeensa sisälsi ravitsemus- ja lääkeannostusohjeet.

Potilaan hoito-ohjeensa päivitettiin uuden lääkityksen myötä.

Notes:

Hoitoohjeensa is often used when the owner is clear from context; otherwise, more explicit phrases like potilaan hoito-ohjeet may be preferred. Related terms include hoitoohje, hoito-ohjeet, and other possessive forms derived from hoito-ohje.
