NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer involves ensuring the client fully understands their discharge instructions, as this supports continuity of care, adheres to hospital policies, and reduces the risk of complications or readmissions due to misunderstood post-discharge care. While verifying transportation is necessary, it does not directly address continuing care. Similarly, retrieving personal belongings is important but secondary to providing clinical instructions. Notifying ancillary services like dietary in this context is not a discharge priority unless specified by the plan of care.
