An elderly patient is covered under Medicare. She is scheduled for discharge and tells the nursing student that several therapists will come to her home to help her regain functional abilities.
 
  The patient then asks, Why can't I just stay in the hospital and receive this type of care? What is the nursing student's best response?
  a. You should be able to stay in the hospital. I will ask the nurse to call your doctor.
  b. Once you have reached your reimbursable length of stay and your condition is stable, it is more cost effective to provide you with home healthcare.
  c. Medicare is a type of managed care, which mean that you are only allowed to stay in the hospital for a certain number of days before being discharged, regardless of your condition.
  d. You should be glad to be in your own home. You will recover in no time.
