Which of these is not listed as part of the Foundation Framework resources?

• A. Resource
• B. DomainResource
• C. Bundle
• D. Patient

Answer: (D)

Foundation Framework resources describe the basic scaffolding and packaging that all FHIR resources rely on. Resource is the abstract base type that every resource derives from. DomainResource builds on that core by adding features used by more complex, domain-specific resources, such as narrative text and contained resources. Bundle is a special resource used to group multiple resources together, serving as a container for collection or transaction scenarios.

Patient is a concrete domain resource representing a person who receives care. It sits on top of the foundation framework rather than being one of the foundational scaffold resources itself. Thus, it wouldn’t be listed as part of the Foundation Framework resources.
