Answer to Question 1
A
A nursing discharge note needs to cover the reason for hospitalization, procedures performed, care, treatment, and services provided, patient status at discharge, information provided to the patient and family, and provisions for follow-up care. Patient status at discharge, not admission, is included. Standardized nursing care plans are based on the institution's standards of nursing practice and are preprinted established guidelines of care for patients with similar health problems. Detailed descriptions of nursing procedures are located in policy and procedure manuals, but not in a discharge summary.
Answer to Question 2
D
If a nurse works for a health care institution, generally the institution's insurance will cover the nurse during employment. Malpractice insurance usually provides nurses with an attorney, pay-ment of those fees, and payment of any judgment or settlement if a patient sues a nurse for med-ical malpractice. If a nurse provides care on a voluntary basis outside the health care facility, hospital-provided malpractice insurance would not cover the nurse. The nurse will need to carry additional insurance. Driving to and from work is not malpractice.
