Attempting to better understand the discharge instructions needed by a client could be a potential research study. An anticipated result of such a study might provide insight into:
1. Ways clients might better manage their own recovery
2. How the nurse might provide care while in the hospital
3. When the client should be discharged
4. Decreased hospitalizations
Ways clients might better manage their own recovery
Rationale: A study looking at the discharge instructions needed by a client could provide insight into ways clients might better manage their own recovery. As a secondary impact, there may be information on ways to decrease hospitalization; however, that would not be the primary focus. When the client should be discharged and how the nurse could provide care while in the hospital would not be a focus of the research study.
