rn

Explanation:

1. The coordinated plan of care for a nursing facility resident receiving hospice services must include whether the hospice or facility is responsible for each problem. This is crucial for clear delineation of duties.
2. Palliative care is focused on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, which can be provided alongside curative treatments like chemotherapy. Hospice care is for those with a prognosis of 6 months or less and usually stops curative treatments. Continuous home care and inpatient respite care are not relevant in this context.
3. The RN (Registered Nurse) in the hospice interdisciplinary group (IDG) is responsible for coordinating care among the IDG, continuously assessing each resident and family, and implementing the IDG plan of care. Physicians focus more on medical diagnosis and treatment, social workers on psychosocial aspects, and pharmacists on medication management.

Answer:

1. Whether the hospice or facility is responsible for each problem

3. RN
