🏠 Nursing

Discharge is a high-risk moment. The nurse involves the carer, keeps to the essentials, names the warning signs and confirms the follow-up.

## Script (3 speakers)

Nurse: Mrs. Ali, you're ready to go home today. Is it okay if your son listens too? Mrs Ali: Yes, please. He'll help me. Nurse: Wonderful. Keep the dressing dry for two days. After that you can shower normally. Son: And the stitches? Nurse: They'll dissolve on their own, no need to remove them. Nurse: Now the important part. If the wound gets red, hot, or you have a fever, call the ward straight away. The number is on this sheet. Mrs Ali: Red, hot or fever. Call. Nurse: Exactly. Your follow-up appointment is next Thursday at ten. Any questions before you go? Son: No, that's very clear. Thank you.
