Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forwarding copies of the written report to the patient's physician and the home care agency is essential for continuity of care and the patient's medical record. It is not necessary to forward copies to the patient's family unless the patient has specifically requested it. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect. Choice B is also incorrect as only forwarding to the patient's physician and family leaves out important information for the home care agency responsible for coordinating ongoing care.
