The Discharge Assessment module tests your ability to prepare Tina Jones for safe transition from the healthcare setting. Given her five chronic conditions and active foot wound, this is a complex discharge requiring coordination across multiple clinical areas.
Key discharge components: medication reconciliation (confirming all medications, doses, new prescriptions), wound care instructions (dressing changes, signs of infection to watch for), diabetes self-management education (DSME — blood glucose monitoring, hypoglycaemia recognition, diet), blood pressure home monitoring, asthma action plan review, and all follow-up appointments scheduled.
Complete discharge plan documented across all five conditions. Return precautions given for wound infection, hypoglycaemia, hypertensive crisis and asthma exacerbation. Patient demonstrates understanding of all instructions before discharge.
