What must be provided by the facility when a patient requests the purpose for a withdrawal?

  1. A written statement detailing all withdrawals

  2. Receipt indicating the purpose, unless the patient withdraws their own funds

  3. A summary of accounts

  4. A reassessment of needs

The correct answer is: Receipt indicating the purpose, unless the patient withdraws their own funds

When a patient requests the purpose for a withdrawal, the facility is required to provide a receipt indicating the purpose of that transaction. This is essential for maintaining transparency and accountability concerning a patient's funds, ensuring that all withdrawals are properly documented and justified. If the patient is withdrawing their own funds, this requirement may be waived, as the individual is likely already aware of the purpose of the withdrawal. The focus on providing a receipt emphasizes the facility's responsibility to keep clear financial records for the benefit of the patient, safeguarding their rights and ensuring ethical management of their finances.
