A nurse is required to prepare a discharge plan for a client. Which component should the nurse include in the plan that the client has to follow?
A) Plans for follow-up visits
B) Resolution of short-term goals
C) Self-evaluation of performance
D) Restricted diet given by the primary care provider
A
Feedback:
The nurse should include plans for follow-up in the client's discharge plan. A discharge plan should focus on the resolution of unresolved goals and not on the resolution of short-term goals. It should also focus on achieving the client's long-term goals. Self-evaluation of performance is not a necessary aspect of a discharge plan. A restricted diet is not an absolutely essential requirement. In the case where a special diet is required, the client is instructed to seek documentation of the diet from a dietitian and not from the physician.
