Which member of the Triad works with the Warrior in Transition and his/her family in the decision-making process related to care, treatment, and services?

• A. Social Worker
• B. Case Manager Administrator
• C. Nurse Case Manager
• D. Primary Care Physician

Answer: (C)

The key idea is who coordinates care decisions for a Warrior in Transition with the family. The Nurse Case Manager is the team member who guides the overall plan across medical, rehabilitation, and support services, helping the Warrior and family understand options, potential outcomes, and timelines, and ensuring choices align with goals and available resources. This role acts as the primary facilitator of communication among the patient, family, and all providers, arranging services and referrals as needed. While a Social Worker provides psychosocial support, and a Primary Care Physician oversees medical treatment, and a Case Manager Administrator handles administrative aspects, the Nurse Case Manager is the one specifically tasked with coordinating care decisions and ensuring the family’s involvement in the process.
