Describe what happens to a patient's drugs when the patient is discharged from the hospital to another healthcare facility, such as a nursing home

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: If the patient is discharged to another healthcare facility (such as a nursing home), the physician lists all of the patient's drugs in the discharge summary. The discharge summary is faxed to the other healthcare facility, and the attending physician at that facility must reorder the patient's drugs.
