NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is to confirm the client’s understanding of discharge instructions and provide additional resources. Confirming understanding ensures that the client knows how to manage their care at home, recognizes warning signs, and adheres to their medication or treatment regimen, reducing the risk of complications. Verifying that a caregiver is present or scheduling a follow-up appointment, while important, focuses on logistical aspects rather than direct client understanding, which is key for safety. Finalizing documentation is a required administrative action but does not directly prioritize client safety.
