Nursing homes/healthcare facilities must have physician orders for the immediate care of each resident upon admission. These orders must be consistent with the resident's physical and mental status and should include dietary, medication (if necessary) and routine care to maintain or improve the resident's functional abilities until a comprehensive assessment is completed and an interdisciplinary care plan is developed. This will ensure that each resident receives necessary care and services upon admission.
