Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Who serves as the liaison between the facility and admitting physicians?

1. Attending physician

2. Dietary supervisor

3. Medical director

4. Nursing supervisor

The correct answer is: Attending physician

Attending physicians are responsible for managing the care of patients in a hospital or other medical facility. They are typically the ones who have the most contact with patients and work very closely with the admitting physicians. The other options are incorrect because - B: A dietary supervisor is responsible for managing food service operations and does not typically have a direct role in coordinating between the facility and physicians. - C: A medical director oversees the overall medical operations of a facility, but does not specifically serve as a liaison between the facility and admitting physicians. - D: A nursing supervisor manages the nursing staff and patient care, but does not have a direct role in communication between the facility and physicians.
