He wascomplaining of SOB and exhibiting a productive cough. His husband,Rob, checked his pulse ox and it was 80%. He also noticed Terranceseemed a bit confused. Rob drove Terrance to the ED where an x-rayconfirmed bilateral lower lobe pneumonia. Terrance was admitted tothe Step Down unit for care. After two weeks of immobility,decreased appetite and dyspnea, Terrance is finally feeling betterand stated that he misses having dinner every night with Rob.However, two weeks in the hospital has left him very weak. He evenhas difficulty getting dressed and bathing, which was not a problemfor him before the hospital admission. He is ready to be dischargedfrom the Step Down Unit as the nursing staff happily states “He istoo well to be in an acute care unit.” Where would be a good placeto transfer him, within the hospital, before being discharged backto home? What is the rationale for your decision?
