Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A hospital course is a detailed account of a patient's stay in the hospital, including diagnosis, treatment, and progress. It is often included in the medical record and can be referenced by healthcare providers. Discharge summary, discharge instructions, and discharge disposition are all related to the patient's discharge from the hospital but do not provide a comprehensive overview of the hospital course.
