List actual time of discharge,mode of transportation,and who accompanied the patient for discharge summary information.In some settings,a Kardex,a portable "flip-over" file or notebook,is kept at the nurses' station.A Kardex is for nurses,not for patients to take upon discharge.A nurse completes a nursing history form when a patient is admitted to a nursing unit,not when the patient is discharged.SOAP notes are not given to patients who are being discharged.SOAP notes are a type of documentation style.
