What should NOT be included in the NSP’s discharge goals?

1. Transition indicators for alternative settings

2. Detailed assessment of mental health stability

3. General readiness indicators for transition

4. Factors affecting a child's progress

The correct answer is: Detailed assessment of mental health stability

The choice regarding the detailed assessment of mental health stability should not be included in the NSP's discharge goals because the discharge goals primarily focus on the readiness and plans for a successful transition from the program, rather than an in-depth analysis of mental health status at that point in time. The goal of the NSP (Needs and Support Plan) is to create a framework for the individual’s transition to alternative settings, which involves broader indicators of readiness and progress rather than delving into specific mental health details. Other options are relevant to the discharge goals as they provide essential context and frameworks for ensuring a successful transition. Transition indicators for alternative settings, general readiness indicators, and factors affecting a child's progress all contribute to the overarching goals of preparing for discharge. These factors help ensure that adequate support systems are in place, enabling smoother transitions and better long-term outcomes for residents.
