What should a discharge plan include in VASAP?

• A. Discharge summary, aftercare referrals, understanding ongoing requirements, follow-up contacts.
• B. Only discharge summary.
• C. Aftercare referrals only.
• D. Payment arrangements only.

Answer: (A)

Discharge planning in VASAP should be comprehensive to ensure a smooth transition after program participation and clear guidance for the client moving forward. The plan should include a discharge summary so everyone involved understands what was completed and the outcomes, aftercare referrals to connect the client with continued support, a clear understanding of ongoing requirements so the client knows what obligations or conditions remain, and follow-up contacts to monitor progress and confirm continued compliance. This combination provides continuity of care, accountability, and a framework for addressing any issues that arise after discharge. Including only one element or focusing on unrelated items like payment arrangements would leave gaps in support and supervision, which is why the comprehensive approach is the best choice.
