Question 35

In addition to diagnostic and therapeutic orders from the attending physician, you would expect every completed inpatient health record to contain

    Correct Answer:

    Every completed inpatient health record should contain a discharge order. A discharge order is a formal instruction from the attending physician that the patient is cleared to leave the hospital. This ensures that the patient's care has concluded properly and the health record is complete. Other options like standing orders, telephone orders, and stop orders are situational and not necessarily present in every completed inpatient health record.
