Who is responsible for prep., supervision and filing administrative records?

• A. Director of Nursing
• B. Resident Advisory Council
• C. Administrator
• D. Facilities Attorney

Answer: (C)

In most facilities, the person who oversees operations and keeps the administrative side running is the administrator. This role is responsible for preparing and supervising administrative tasks and ensuring that administrative records are filed and managed properly. The administrator coordinates with department leaders, ensures records are current and organized, and makes sure the facility stays compliant with regulations. Administrative records can include policy manuals, meeting minutes, incident reports, licenses and certifications, staff schedules, and training records. Keeping these records orderly and accessible is a core part of maintaining smooth facility operations and accountability.

The Director of Nursing focuses on patient or resident care and supervising nursing staff, not the overall administrative filing system. The Facilities Attorney handles legal matters and risk management rather than day-to-day record-keeping. The Resident Advisory Council is a group representing residents’ voices and does not manage administrative records. So, the administrator is the best fit for prep, supervision, and filing of administrative records.
