The night shift nurse assigned to the resident is responsible for completing the Medications Section of the Discharge Assessment.

Signing the Discharge Assessment is an acknowledgment that the resident or the POA receives the medication and the discharge instruction.
Each section of the Discharge Assessment will turn green once completed. If it did not turn green, it means that section is not completed or answered yet.
