Marge, your nursing home patient, has expressed to you that she is afraid of returning home due to the condition of her house. She has not told anyone else her concerns. Who should you report this information to?
  1. OT department and charge nurse
  2. Social worker
  3. OT department and social worker
  4. Marge’s physician
Explanation
Answer: C. You should report this information to your OT department and the social worker. Any information that may affect a patient’s ability to return to home should be reported to your OT department. In addition, the social worker is responsible for making sure patients who are discharged to go home have the community resources they need to remain at home. So this information should also be reported to the social worker.
