He was released from the hospital yesterday (Improve underlined part)

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 1:

When someone leaves a hospital after receiving medical care, the most appropriate and commonly used term is "discharged." "Released" can be used in a broader sense of being set free, but in the specific context of a hospital stay, "discharged" conveys the official and formal process of being allowed to leave, often with medical instructions or follow-up care plans. It indicates a medical professional's decision that the patient is well enough to go home.

The incorrect option is 2:
"Let out" is a more informal phrase and less suitable for the official context of leaving a hospital. It might imply being allowed to leave a confined space, but it lacks the specific medical connotation of completing treatment and being deemed fit for departure from a healthcare facility.

The incorrect option is 3:
"Dismissed" suggests being sent away or having one's services terminated, which is inappropriate for a patient leaving a hospital. While a patient might be "dismissed" from a certain course of treatment, the overall act of leaving the hospital after care is not accurately described as being "dismissed."

The incorrect option is 4:
"No improvement" is incorrect because "released" is not the most precise or formal term in this medical context. While "released" isn't strictly wrong, "discharged" is a far better and more accurate choice for describing a patient's departure from a hospital. Therefore, an improvement can be made by using "discharged."
