Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In an SNF, physicians are on call and are required to make regular visits to residents, as well as to provide supervision for the advance practice nurse. The SNF provides rehabilitation services, special diets, and access to pharmacy, x-ray, and laboratory services. Occupational, physical, recreational, and speech therapists are usually on staff or serve as consultants. The primary care or medical oversight is often provided by an advance practice nurse (nurse practitioner). Some clients may plan to live there indefinitely. Other clients may come to the SNF to recuperate following injury, surgery, or severe debilitating illness, but plan to return to independent living
