Chaplains and Social Workers provide what services to assist patients and families during the ED stay?

• A. Support Resources
• B. PSHx
• C. HPI
• D. Radiographs

Answer: (A)

Chaplains and social workers focus on non-medical support that helps patients and families cope and navigate care during an ED stay. They connect people with resources, provide counseling and spiritual support as needed, assist with discharge planning, and link families to community services such as financial aid, housing or transportation help, and social supports. This kind of assistance is captured by “Support Resources,” making it the best fit.

The other options relate to medical information or tests: Past Surgical History is a medical history item, History of Present Illness documents current symptoms, and Radiographs are imaging studies. None of these reflect the supportive services chaplains and social workers provide.
