Answer to Question 1

Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA)
In the ED, when a patient is transferred from one institution to another, the nurse completes the transfer in compliance with the EMTALA (CMS, 2003). EMTALA is a federal law intended to protect patients from being transferred against their wishes; it thus defines how an appropriate facility-to-facility transfer is accomplished.

Answer to Question 2

continuity of nursing care
When patients transfer, you need to ensure continuity of nursing care. The aim is to continue health care so as to avoid therapeutic interruptions that may hinder progress toward recovery.
