Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clinicians help clients recognize symptoms, identify coping skills, and choose discharge supports in the inpatient setting. People are able to remain in the community for longer periods of time when discharge planning addresses environmental supports, housing, transportation, and access to community support services. Finding a job for the client may be helpful if appropriate but may not be appropriate for the individual at the time of discharge from inpatient care. Improving family support and identifying ideal recreational activities are desirable but not essential for successful reintegration with the community.
