Who is allowed to serve as a charge nurse during every daytime tour of duty in an intermediate care facility?

  1. A certified nursing assistant (CNA)

  2. An LPN under supervision of a RN

  3. Only an RN

  4. Any staff member available

The correct answer is: A certified nursing assistant (CNA)

An intermediate care facility requires a high level of care and supervision, therefore only an RN or a CNA are allowed to serve as a charge nurse during every daytime tour of duty. The other options are incorrect because - B: An LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) can only serve as a charge nurse while under the supervision of an RN (Registered Nurse). - C: While an RN is qualified to serve as a charge nurse, not all RNs may be available during every daytime tour of duty. - D: Any staff member may not have the necessary qualifications and training to serve as a charge nurse in an intermediate care facility.
