Final answer:

The correct answer is (d) Admitted to observation status.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is (d) Admitted to observation status.

The basic categories of patient discharge status typically include:

  • Discharged to home
  • Transferred to another hospital
  • Discharged against medical advice

Admitted to observation status is not a discharge status but rather a type of hospital stay where the patient is monitored for a specific period of time before a decision is made whether to admit them or discharge them.
