Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although a physician normally initiates an order to discharge a patient to a postacute care site, many other health care professionals are involved in the discharge process. Table 56-2 identifies these key professionals, along with their major responsibilities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When selecting a DME supplier, the discharge planning team, including the patient and family members, should consider the company's accreditation status, cost and scope of services, de-pendability, location, personnel, past track record, and availability.
