What does the 'Ready for discharge' status indicate?

It indicates the patient is ready to leave the ED The patient is still awaiting a room The patient has completed discharge The patient is waiting for a consult

Correct Answer:

It indicates the patient is ready to leave the ED

Explanation:

Ready for discharge means the patient has been evaluated and treated, is medically stable, and no further ED interventions are needed. The care plan is complete and the patient is cleared to go home, with remaining steps including discharge instructions, any prescriptions, and arranging transportation. It does not mean they’re still waiting for a room, nor that they’ve already left the ED, nor that they’re waiting for a consult.
