Discharge Plan:
For this assignment, the student is the case manager assigned to composing a discharge plan for a patient who does not want to consider any other plan than to return to their home. The student will select a hospitalized client and determine the patients discharge plan. The student will create a scenario where the family is in disagreement about future care plans for the patient. Focus is on two elements significantly influencing the process, the patient”s decisional capacity and the involvement of family members in decision-making. Discuss in terms of factors compromising the autonomy of the patient and the interdependency of family members. Examples for scenarios could include new onset CVA, with left-sided weakness, CHF with 4 admissions in the last 6 months, ESRD on dialysis, Status Post MVA with a TBI, metastasized pancreatic cancer, or another form of cancer. The student is to complete the discharge planning process from admission until discharge, completing the case management documentation. Complete an initial assessment at the time of admission, keeping in mind that discharge decisions are more easily reached and understood when the purpose and expected outcome for admission to treatment is agreed upon when a client is admitted for service
Instructions:
1. Identify any possible discharge needs at the time of admission. Is there anything that needs to be done at this time?
2. Determine the discharge level of care and destination. What was the basis for the decision? Why is it an appropriate level of care? Who was involved and what was their contribution?
3. How do you get the client to the discharge destination (transportation)? What is the follow-up?
4. Can include cognitive capacity, disagreement with the discharge between family members and healthcare team, conflicting ethical standards, refusal of services, spouse-partner unwillingness to have partner come home, unsafe living environments, and multiple failed discharge attempts.
5. Resolving issues by using Mattisons hierarchical ethical decision-making model may be helpful to research.

Good morning. This is Mary Arung again witting back for the same paper. Can you all change the writer of this paper because apparently, this writer doesn”t know what to do. I paid for an undergraduate paper with all instructions provided but to my greatest surprised, the paper is written below high school level and did not follow the instructions at all. This the third time and asking that they rewrite the paper and I do not want the same person writing this paper again. I asked for 8 pages of paper with references but the person gave me 4 pages with one reference and very poor English. I will attach the instructions again and please get someone else to write this paper for me. Thanks. I need the paper ASAP.
