True or False? If a physician does not click Don't Prescribe or Prescribe for a patient's inpatient
medications during discharge medication reconciliation, the medications will automatically be
prescribed. - Answer✔False, the inpatient medication will automatically not be prescribed.
Dr. Jones is completing his discharge tasks for his patient Samantha, who is going home today.
He needs to choose which task to do next: resolving problems on the Problem List or
prescribing new outpatient medications. Which should he do first and why? - Answer✔Dr.
Jones should write new outpatient orders for Samantha first because he might need to
associate those orders with a problem that will be resolved in this admission. Only active
problems show up for selection during discharge medication reconciliation, so if he resolved the
problem first, he wouldn't be able to associate it with his new order.
What is the difference between a discharge summary and patient instructions? - Answer✔A
discharge summary is a clinical summary of the patient's encounter. They are typically read by
other clinicians and remain part of the patient's chart. Patient instructions include a list of the
patient's take home medications and information about how to continue care after discharge.
These instructions are printed and given to the patient upon discharge.
Can the physician see a list of the resolved problems for a patient? If so, how? - Answer✔Yes,
go to the Problem List navigator section, click the Options button, and select the Resolved
check box.
Can a nurse resolve multiple Care Plan problems at the same time? If so, how? - Answer✔Yes,
within the Care Plan activity, click the Resolve Problems button.
What is a Discharge Summary? - Answer✔The discharge summary tells the overall "story" for
an admission: why the patient was admitted, what treatments were used, how the patient
responded, and his prognosis upon discharge.
What are Patient Instructions? - Answer✔Patient Instructions provide additional information
about medication administration information, and update the follow-up providers. All of that
information is also added to the patient's After Visit Summary.
