Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The nurse who serves as a discharge planner coordinates all the facets of a client's admission and discharge. He or she reviews the client's current response to treatment and past medical history and assesses what family or friend support is available once the client is ready to be discharged. Reviewing the chart for inadequacies is not a task of the discharge planner.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The wrong answers would be inappropriate clients to receive home care due to the acuity of their situations, except for the woman who is homeless. A homebound individual with bipolar illness who is having subacute symptoms would be the perfect candidate for home care services.
