C
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client in an LTC facility that the residents can select the meal program they prefer. The client may select a program that provides three full meals a day with snacks, a certain number of meals per week, or one full meal each day. The case manager oversees the client's dietary intake. Neither the ombudsperson nor the nurse practitioner oversees the client's dietary intake. The ombudsperson sees that the client's legal rights are not violated. The nurse practitioner provides primary care or "medical oversight."
