Discharge plans are being made for a 25-year-old hospitalized client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The client has significant muscle weakness in the lower extremities bilaterally. Which of the following facilities should the nurse expect this client to be discharged to?

The correct answer is C: Rehabilitation facility. This option is the most appropriate because the client with significant muscle weakness in the lower extremities due to multiple sclerosis will benefit from intensive therapy and support provided in a rehabilitation facility to improve mobility and regain functional independence. A skilled nursing facility (A) typically provides more long-term care for clients with chronic conditions. Home care services (B) may not offer the level of intensive therapy needed. Sub-acute care facility (D) focuses more on post-acute medical care rather than rehabilitation.
