1. 1An Oregon nursing facility is considering an applicant whose documented needs exceed the services its staff can safely provide. What is the admission decision required by rule?

   1. A. Decline admission because the facility may admit only residents whose needs it can meet
   2. B. Admit for 72 hours while the care team evaluates whether services can be arranged
   3. C. Admit if the attending physician accepts responsibility for the additional needs
   4. D. Admit if the resident signs a waiver acknowledging the service limitations

   Answer: A

2. 2What weekly commitment makes a director of nursing services full-time under Oregon nursing-facility rules?
