Overview
11. When a child is discharged from the hospital it means he/she is ready to return to school.
Answer: (b.) false
A student is discharged from the hospital when they no longer need constant medical care. However, reduced stamina and cognitive impairments may initially prevent the child from returning to school. Homebound instruction may be required for a period of time following discharge, or if the child is able to attend school, a reduced schedule is often necessary.
