"I will notify my health care provider if persistent bleeding occurs."

Explanation:

When a patient no longer needs hospital staff to care for them the hospital will discharge them and send them home. However the patient still needs to to follow all the instructions from their healthcare providers to prevent problems from arising that can lead the patient to end back in the hospital. This is why self-care teaching is so important.
