Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

After completing the medication aide training program, how many years of experience as a nurse aide in direct patient care are required?

1. 1 year

2. 2 years

3. 3 years

4. None

The correct answer is: 1 year

To become a medication aide, one year of experience as a nurse aide in direct patient care is required. This is because the role of a medication aide involves administering medication to patients, which requires a certain level of experience and competence in working directly with patients. The other options are incorrect because they either require more or less years of experience than what is required. Option B requires 2 years, which is more than the required 1 year, and option C requires 3 years, which is also more than what is needed. Option D, on the other hand, requires no experience, which is not the case for becoming a medication aide.
