Question 1
A nurse is preparing to discharge an older adult who will continue
treatment at home after hospitalization for worsening heart failure.
Which action best demonstrates effective transitional care?
A. Providing the patient with a copy of the discharge summary only
B. Confirming that the patient understands the medication plan and
arranging appropriate follow-up
C. Asking the patient to contact the primary care provider if problems
occur
D. Advising the patient to return to the emergency department for any
new symptom
Correct Answer:
B. Confirming that the patient understands the medication plan and
arranging appropriate follow-up
Rationale:
Effective transitional care promotes continuity and safety as patients
move between healthcare settings. Confirming understanding of
medications and arranging follow-up reduces gaps in care. Option A is
insufficient because written information alone does not ensure
understanding. Option C places too much responsibility on the patient
