The client's ability to care for herself outside of the facility would be considered when her discharge planning needs are assessed,to determine whether other resources will be necessary.The other options are included in the psychiatric assessment tool but do not focus on discharge planning.Appraisal of health and illness focuses on the client's perception of health care and identification of problems and goals;knowledge deficits focus on areas such as medications and coping skills;and previous psychiatric treatment focuses on the client's psychiatric history,including family history.
