Each nursing home shall employ a charge nurse. The charge nurse shall either be an LPN acting under the supervision of a professional nurse or a:
Dietitian
Pharmacist
Physician
Social Worker
The correct answer is: Dietitian
A charge nurse in a nursing home must either be an LPN supervised by a professional nurse or a dietitian. This is because the role of a charge nurse in a nursing home is to oversee the care of patients and administer medication, both of which require a strong understanding of nutrition and diet. A pharmacist, physician, or social worker would not have the necessary qualifications or knowledge in this area to effectively serve as a charge nurse in a nursing home. Therefore, option A, dietitian, is the correct answer.
