May the RN, CM/DN delegate the 45 day nursing site visit and client assessment to the LPN?
The 45 day site visit, which includes an assessment of: the client; the task; the caregiver to whom the task has been delegated; and the environment in which the task is to be performed may not be delegated to an LPN. 2. May the RN, CM/DN utilize the sample Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) Resident Assessment Form contained in the 16 hour RN, Case Manager/Delegating Nurse Training Program to assess clients in the Assisted Living (A.L) Facility? The Resident Assessment form in the 16 hour RN, CM/DN Training Program is a Sample form. The RN, CM\DN must obtain the approved final version of the tool from OHCQ. While the content is accurate on the Sample form, the formatting is different and it also lacks the State Control number. Be sure to obtain the Resident Assessment form from OHCQ. 3. If the facility has a LPN administering all medications or if the facility is owned and operated by a LPN who administers all the medications, is the LPN or the facility required to have a RN, CM/DN?
