Mixed — everything

A patient carrying a resistant organism is being transferred to a rehabilitation unit. Which nursing action best protects the receiving unit and the patient's ongoing care?

• ASend the patient with the transfer documentation and allow the receiving unit to review the notes on arrival.
• BInform the receiving unit only if they ask, to avoid the patient being stigmatized before arrival.
• COmit the information from the verbal handover, since it appears in the laboratory results already.
• DBrief the receiving unit in advance so they can prepare placement and equipment, and ensure the status is clearly recorded to travel with the patient.
