If a facility has 60 or more residents, can it use its DON, SDC, and other support as part of calculating the ratio for nursing hours per day?

  1. No

  2. Yes, but only the SDC

  3. Yes, but only the DON

  4. Yes, but only for night shifts

The correct answer is: No

The correct answer is A. No. This is because according to federal regulations, the facility must only use direct care staff (registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides) in the calculation of nursing hours per day. Management and support staff (such as the DON and SDC) may not be included in the calculation, regardless of the number of residents in the facility. Therefore, the other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect.
