Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Transitions are the movement of the patient from one care environment to another.
Transition planning refers to the planning process that takes place to assure that the patient's
well-being is maintained throughout the time of transition. Organizing this transition from one
care setting to another is not termed discharge planning, comprehensive planning, or ongoing
planning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Care in the community is cost-effective and often more acceptable to the client
because it causes less disruption in life. It takes place in a wide variety of settings and involves
the nurse entering into a collaborative relationship with clients.
