Q&A Physician Admit to Observation

Patient was admitted for pneumothorax to observation status. Paitent was due to have surgery. However, Physician A postponed surgery, due to pneumothorax. Physician B was going to assist with the surgery and signs the H & P form, but states on the documentation that Physician A was the actual physician admitting the patient. I am not sure how to code this regarding the two physicians. Thanks.
