Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Who is responsible for the anticipated schedule of visits for a patient?

1. Activities Director

2. Attending Physician

3. Director of Nursing

4. Social Services Coordinator

The correct answer is: Attending Physician

The Attending Physician is responsible for the anticipated schedule of visits for a patient as they are the primary healthcare provider for the patient. This option can be distinguished from the other choices, such as the Activities Director, Director of Nursing, and Social Services Coordinator, because their roles do not involve creating or managing a schedule for patient visits. While the Activities Director may plan recreational activities for the patient, the Director of Nursing oversees the nursing staff and the Social Services Coordinator assists with coordinating social and community resources for the patient. Therefore, the Attending Physician is the most appropriate choice for this responsibility.
