When must an RN develop a written plan of care for an admitting person for respite care?

  1. Within 24 hours

  2. Within 48 hours

  3. Prior to or on the day of admission

  4. Within 72 hours

The correct answer is: Prior to or on the day of admission

An RN must develop a written plan of care for an admitting person for respite care prior to or on the day of admission. This is important to ensure that the individual's medical and care needs are adequately addressed from the start of their stay in the nursing home. Developing a plan of care in advance allows for a smooth transition and immediate implementation of necessary care measures. The other options (A, B, and D) suggest longer time frames, which could delay crucial care planning and provision for the individual entering respite care.
