What is an Accompanied Pass?

• A. A pass that allows outside time with no escort.
• B. Permission to spend time outside the ward with another person present.
• C. A pass to visit family inside the ward.
• D. A pass to leave the hospital entirely.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is understanding how ward passes work, specifically what an Accompanied Pass means. An Accompanied Pass gives you permission to spend time outside the ward, but only if another person is with you. This ensures supervision and safety while you’re outside. It isn’t about leaving alone (that would be an unaccompanied pass), nor about visiting family inside the ward, nor about leaving the hospital entirely. So the option that says you may spend time outside the ward with another person present captures the correct meaning.
