Question

Which of the following statements about the discharge/move out process is incorrect?

A) The resident must be given advance notice of discharge
B) Discharge planning should consider the resident's needs and preferences
C) Residents can be discharged without reason or notice
D) The facility must provide assistance to the resident in finding an alternative placement

Answer 1

The correct statement about the discharge/move out process is that residents cannot be discharged without reason or notice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about the discharge/move out process is C) Residents can be discharged without reason or notice. In reality, residents cannot be discharged without reason or notice. The facility must have a valid reason to discharge a resident and must provide advance notice, usually 30 days, to allow the resident to make alternative arrangements.

Discharge planning should take into account the resident's needs and preferences, and the facility is required to provide assistance to the resident in finding an alternative placement. In some cases, the resident's family may also be involved in the discharge planning process.
