Complicated: Well, doctor is supposed to take care of the resident and administrator is required for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations. Cnas provide most of the personal care. Lpns & rns carry out doctor's orders with a don as their boss. Complex rules and family beliefs sometimes pose a barrier to doctor, s rationale approach!
