Abstract
Conducting a predischarge home assessment can provide important information
to the hospital care team for discharge planning and postdischarge care. I
n addition, a predischarge home visit assists the family in preparing for t
he infant or child's care needs. This report describes an Environmental Ass
essment Guide initially developed and subsequently used in two nursing rese
arch studies. Anecdotal information from advanced practice nurse care recor
ds is provided to illustrate issues relating to predischarge assessment. Co
