Monitoring signs and symptoms specific to the child's condition is important to identify any changes or worsening of the condition. It ensures that the family can seek prompt medical attention if needed. Instruction on performing a medical examination is typically the responsibility of the child's primary care provider, not the nurse's role in discharge instructions. Not all families may be familiar with their child's condition, as each child may have unique needs and differences in treatment plans. A list of diagnostic tests and their results may be provided to the family and their primary care provider, but is not necessary for routine discharge instructions.
