Although nurses\u2019 interventions during discharge are important for patient outcomes, little is known about the nursing activities actually performed as compared with those documented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>An observational study of the nursing activities performed during patients\u2019 discharge and a retrospective audit of the nursing records of the same patients and nurses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Structured nonparticipant observations were conducted of the activities performed by nurses at discharge. A retrospective audit of the nursing records relating to patient discharge, including the nursing diary and the assessment of critical issues at hospital discharge, was also conducted.
