Which information should a nurse include in the transfer report when moving a client to a long-term care facility?

The inclusion of resolved health conditions in the transfer report is crucial for ensuring continuity of care. By providing information about any health conditions that have been resolved, the receiving facility can better understand the client's current health status and care needs. This awareness helps healthcare providers at the long-term care facility to avoid unnecessary interventions, tailor their care plans effectively, and focus on ongoing health issues that the client may still have.

Discussing resolved health conditions gives the new care team insight into the client’s medical history, which can inform their approach to ongoing care and help in monitoring for any potential resurgence of these conditions. This holistic view is important for delivering comprehensive patient care and making informed decisions about the client’s treatment and support.

In contrast, while discontinued medications, frequency of vital sign collection, and completed nursing interventions may hold relevance, they do not provide critical information about what has changed or been resolved in the client’s health status, which is paramount when transitioning into a new environment focused on long-term wellbeing.
