The major purpose of the admission process helps establish how clients feel about admission and potentially helps determine the effectiveness of admission to any healthcare facility. As part of the admission process, care for the client's clothing and valuable items needs to be incorporated in establishing how clients feel about admission. The LPN at the completion of the admission process has to report key findings to the RN.
