•Per the text, when patients cannot receive needed medical care,
nursing services, or rehabilitation therapies in a community-based
setting, they are typically admitted to a long-term care facility, where
medical care is traditionally delivered by physicians and / or
practitioners with advanced qualifications. All nursing services in
long-term care facilities are delivered by a nursing staff which is
headed by a Director of Nursing (DON). Compare and contrast the roles of
the medical director and the DON. Select the role which has the overall
greater impact on patient care. Provide a rationale for your response.
•Imagine that you are responsible for staffing a long-term care facility with sixty (60) full-time residents. Propose your strategy of selecting the key staff members, and specify their main roles and responsibilities. Support your selections
