Answer to Question 1

C
The discharge process occurs in three phases: acute, transitional, and continuing care. In the acute phase, medical attention dominates discharge planning efforts. During the transitional phase, the need for acute care is still present, but its urgency declines and patients begin to address and plan for their future health care needs. In the continuing care phase, patients participate in planning and implementing continuing care activities needed after discharge. There is no multidisciplinary stage; the discharge planning process is comprehensive and multidisciplinary.

Answer to Question 2

A
Planning for discharge begins at admission and continues throughout the patient's stay in the agency.
