The discharge planner lets you know that Tina has home healthcare for diabetic education and management arranged for discharge today. Her antibiotics will be by mouth. She will give herself insulin. Her mother knows how to change the wound dressing, and the home health nurse can do more training if needed. Tina will also be tracking her blood sugar at home with fingerstick glucose testing, and she has all the supplies at home. Tina has agreed to take her medications as ordered and has the money to get her prescriptions filled. She will be discharged according to the provider%u0432%u0402%u2122s orders, and you need to teach Tina what she needs to know before she goes home.
