The nurse needs to ensure the client's safe transition to home and provide instructions about what the client has been taught during the 23-hour stay. It is also important to include any areas where the client still needs to learn before discharge. Checking the client's insurance for hospitalization coverage and calling prescriptions into the pharmacy are not necessarily part of the nurse's responsibilities in preparing the client for discharge after a 23-hour stay.
