A nurse is collaborating with the care team to implement a client's discharge plan. Which action by the nurse demonstrates a cost-effective approach to client care?
Coordinate with community resources to meet the client's needs post-discharge.
Discontinue community resource referrals and rely on inpatient care.
Prescribe an additional set of the client’s medications in case of loss or misuse.
Recommend additional tests to avoid potential future complications.
The correct answer is to coordinate with community resources to meet the client’s needs because utilizing community resources helps reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions and decreases financial burdens while ensuring continuous quality care. Recommending unnecessary tests increases costs without added value, relying solely on inpatient care neglects more affordable and accessible community resources, and prescribing additional medications increases expenses and waste without justifiable benefit.
