Client Worried About Medication Costs at Discharge
Psychosocial Needs · Question from the ATI PN Fundamentals 2023 Proctored Exam study set
Correct answer: Contact a social worker to request assistance for the client
Why this is the answer
A social worker can connect the client with financial assistance programs, medication assistance foundations, or other community resources to address the cost barrier.
The bigger concept
Discharge-planning items check whether you recognize a barrier to adherence and route it to the right resource. Cost is one of the most common reasons clients skip medications after discharge. Social workers and case managers know patient-assistance programs, generic substitution options, and community pharmacies with reduced pricing. The PN/VN's role is to identify the concern, report it, and reinforce the plan — not to tell the client to 'just try' or to change the prescription.
