1. A consistent caregiver is important, but not a requirement for this teen.
2. Monitoring of media should occur with any teen, but is not a recommended method of discharge planning.
3. Support is needed for a teen to maintain less stress and to learn coping mechanisms with discharge planning.
4. Medical attention will be needed when issues arise for the teen, but not as much intervention is needed while doing well.
