Ans: B
It is important to begin planning for discharge to a rehabilitation facility as soon as possible so that all necessary arrangements can be made prior to discharge. Waiting until the parent or child feel the time is right or waiting until improvement is noted may not leave enough time for thorough discharge planning.
