A student nurse is caring for a patient who will be transferred to a skilled nursing facility (SNF). When educating the student nurse about an SNF, the nurse recognizes that further instruction is needed when the student nurse states:
1. "Medicare will most likely pay for my patient's care at the SNF."
2. "I hope that my patient gets to return home after going to the SNF."
3. "My patient will never get to go home again if he's transferred to an SNF."
4. "My patient will receive skilled nursing care such as physical therapy as needed."
